OBSERVATIONS ON THE HABITS, EGGS, AND 

 YOUNG OF HYLA FUHRMANNI PERACCA. 



By Alexander G. Ruthven. 



The Bryant W'alker Expedition to the Santa Marta Moim- 

 tains, Colombia, in 1913, secured two adults and two broods 

 of young of a large tree-frog which correspond so closely 

 with the description of Hyla fitJiruiainii Peracca^ as to leave 

 no doubt that they are to be referred to that form. The type 

 specimen of H. fiilirnuutui is a female bearing eggs, and it is 

 stated that the eggs, thirty-three in number and averaging 

 seven mm. in diameter, are glued to the back, and the young 

 frogs about to hatch are devoid of tail. The writer studied 

 the Santa Marta specimens in the field and secured notes and 

 photographs which ■supplement the notes published by Peracca.
