medium-sized examples, I suspect it to be a character associated 
with youth. The style of the coloration of the upper parts is 
less variable. In somie living examples I noticed here and there 
one a trifle pale, or with paler streaks, or the upper jaw more 
bronzed. ‘The lower lateral streak from below the tympanum 
appears to vary also, as it is either ochraceous, dull reddish, 
brownish, olivaceous or whitish. Some variation may also be 
noticed in the skin. Some have the dermal papille rather more 
scattered than others. ‘These are usually the smaller individuals, 
as the larger ones have a somewhat warty appearance. Mr. J. 
A. G. Rehn informs me he heard this frog at Cedar Grove, on 
the Oswego River, or the east branch of the Wading River, and 
also at Speedwell, during June of 1905. A description of the 
cluck of a frog, which may possibly have been this species, was 
given to me by Mr. G. Z. Hartman, of Palermo, Cape May 
County, who says that the frogs are common about the Cedar 
Swamp Creek region. Although diligently searched for in all 
suitable localities, I failed to discover any. Mr. Chreswell J. 
Hunt informs me that he noted this frog while camping on the 
dam of the Rancocas Creek at New Lisbon, in Burlington 
County, on the night of May 15th, 1906. During all of the 
evening its voice was the sound most in evidence. It was also 
abundant at the dam at Brown Mills on May 16th. About the 
shores at the head of these ponds were masses of sphagnum 
and in these spots the frogs seemed to abound. Although un- 
successful in securing specimens, he feels certain of the identity 
of the species, as the croak was so different from that of any other 
with which he was familiar. He also states that he did not hear 
it anywhere along the Rancocas below New Lisbon, which is 
well among the pines. During the past summer he heard it at 
Whiting. On May 3oth, 1907, Mr. Paul Lorrilliere reports he 
heard this frog at Dennisville in Cape May County. The 
accompanying figures to this species show a female at 
the left. The 2 middle figures are dorsal and_ ventral 
views of males with distended vocal vesicles, and the right 
is a more usual type of coloration of the male. It has the 
vocal vesicles collapsed. In “I'he Frog Book” by Mary C. Dick-
