limits, and in fact those of the State, by Mr. Pahiier's record.* 

 This is based on two specimens found in a gravel pit some 

 years ago. Mr. Palmer writes me, " Unfortunately both these 

 frogs got away. I was at Haverford College at the time, and 

 had them in my room. One was quite small, the other full- 

 grown. They were companionable, and sat about my desk, 

 crawled over my hands, etc. How they got out of the room 

 I cannot say, but go they did. * * This gravel pit was in 

 the Bryn Mawr gravel of Carvill L,ewis, on the northeast out- 

 skirts of Bryn Mawr. I could not go the place now * * * 

 and doubt if I could any longer know it when I saw it. The 

 whole country is so altered, what with chateaux, etc., since 

 1882. But I remember thinking at the time, that the sandy, 

 gravelly bank, the hole full of cracks, and all, looked like a 

 tiny patch of New Jersey, and that here was the proper frog." 



Rana pipiens (Schreber) — Leopard Frog. 



Common about tidal marshes. I met with it on Tinicum 

 Island about Lester. 



Rana catesbeiana (Shaw) — Bull Frog. 



Abundant. Mr. Palmer found it at Ridley Park. I met 

 with it at Lester, Media, Wawa and CoUingdale. 



Rana clamata (Daudin) — Green Frog. 



Common, and very variable. Chad's Ford, Brandywine 

 Summit, Markham, Concordville, Chester Heights, Wawa, 

 Trout Run, Collar Brook, Media, Lenni, Fawkes Run, Col- 

 lingdale, Lester. 



Rana palustris (L,e Conte) — Pickerel Frog. 



Common, especially in long grass. Chad's Ford, Brandy- 

 wine Summit, Markham, Concordville, Chester Heights, 

 Wawa, Collar Brook, CoUingdale, Trout Run, Lester and 

 Tiniciun Island. 



Rana sylvatica (Le Conte) — Wood F'rog. 



No definite locality has been given for this species, though 

 it is included in Mr. Palmer's account. It doubtless occurs in 

 woodland.
