Dr. Abbott says it is nearly as abundant as Rana pipiens about 
Trenton, and equally distributed, usually preferring the long 
grass. It does not appear gregarius like R. pipiens, but is usually 
more or less solitary. It takes the longest leaps of any of our 
species, and occurs about most any damp grassy place if the 
grass is rather long. It makes a long harsh or rather. tremulous 
croak. I have examples from Bridgeton, White Pond in October 
of 1895 (S. N. Rhoads), and Haddonfield on September 2d, 1894 
(S. N. Rhoads).
