192 REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 



noted above, from Delaware, may be Biifo fowleri, though I have 

 no material for comparison. The examples I have already re- 

 ported from the head of the Batsto River, in Burlington county, 

 and Beamersville, in Sussex county, have the breast or belly well 

 speckled with blackish, while those from Stafford's Forge in 

 Ocean county, Atlantic City in Atlantic county, Bear Swamp to 

 Batsto River in Burlington county, and Cape May Point, all show 

 their under surfaces immaculate or with a single median dusky 

 blotch, and this sometimes faint. They also appear to have more 

 numerous and finer excresences on the back. 



Mr. S. H. Hamilton found it at Oxford in Warren county. 



Acris gryllus crepitans (Baird). 

 Cricket Toad. 



Frequently heard about Green Creek, in Cape May county, 

 in the pools of fresh and tide-water, on May 5th, 1907. Heard at 

 intervals about the swamps near New Lisbon, Burlington county, 

 on May 12th, 1907. Also found at Green Creek on June 9th, 

 1907, and on June 23d. On the latter date they were uttering 

 their rattling notes in the afternoon. Small green tree toads 

 reported by Mr. S. H. Hamilton from Bethlehem Cut, between 

 Oxford and Washington, were heard commonly during the sum- 

 mer, and were probably this species. Abundant about ditches, 

 especially in places where cattle have tramped about the mud, at 

 Higbee's Beach, near Pond Creek, on October 6th, 1907. They 

 varied greatly in color, some with snout brilliant and compara- 

 tively large expanse of grass-green over their backs compared 

 with pale ones, which are either brownish or gray. About New 

 England Creek, and in the dry fields, roadsides and woods, they 

 were very abundant. All these were, however, pale or grayish in 

 color, suggesting more young of Biifo. Found near Sumner in 

 Camden County on October 20th, 1907. 



Hyla pickeringii (Holbrook). 



Pickering's Tree Toad. 



Heard in large chorus on the tide marshes below May's Land-
