122 HYLA VIRIDIS.

linea, utrinque flava, sed recta, distinguitur clamore, tschit, tschit, tschit, dum

The next account of the Hyla viridis is in the supplement to Pennant’s Arctic 
Zoology, where it is described as the Cinereous Frog, with a white line along the 
flanks; the green colour doubtless had become cinereous, owing to the action of 
alcohol on the specimen which he examined. 
Gmelin, in his edition of the Systema Nature, goes back to the opinion of 
Linneus, and considers the Hyla viridis as only a variety of the Rana (Hyla) 
arborea; but he adds a reference to Catesby. 
Schneider also calls it a variety of his Calamita arborea, though he says, “non 
solum linearum diversa disectio, sed vox etiam distinguit.” 
Bosc observed the living animal in Carolina, and gave a detailed and accurate 
account of it to Latreille and Daudin, under the name Hyla lateralis, which was 
afterwards published in their respective works. This name, however, cannot be 
retained in this work—that of Hyla viridis having the right of priority.
