erson the statement is made that this frog “was first discovered 
by Cope, at Atlantic City,’ which is entirely erroneous as Mare 
Run is some miles distant. Further, “in the summer of 1905 
it was reported as very abundant near this type locality,” is also 
wrong, as it was taken at the type locality by Mr. T. D. Keim 
and myself. This confusion is probably due to the fact that the 
type locality is in Atlantic County.

Bull Frog. 
Jug-O’-Rum. Bloody Nouns. Bully. 
Head, measured to posterior edge of tympanum, 24% in body 
to end of trunk, not including hind limb; depth about 2, appar- 
ently normal; greatest width of body about 2%; width of head 
at posterior margins of tympani a little greater than its length; 
snout 2% ; eye 324; mouth but a trifle less than head; width of 
mouth a little greater than head; interorbital space, measured 
from eye-sockets, about 5; fore limb a little less than half of head 
and trunk; head and trunk about 1% in hind leg. Body bulky, 
robust, clumsy, rather elongately ellipsoid as viewed above with 
bulge about costal region, and constriction about evenly convex 
anteriorly and posteriorly. Form slightly depressed above and 
below, with most all of surface more or less convex. Pelvic 
bones forming an obtuse though rather abrupt angle about 34 
in length of head and trunk, and processes rounded convexly, not 
elevated. Head large, broad, greatly depressed both above and 
below, though with former surface more or less convex. Snout,
