and on lower side and belly blend into those of 

 typical examples of L. gibbosus. The coloration of 

 the fins and the form and coloration of the opercu- 

 lar flap agree with C. gulosus. 



The writer has seen other hybrid Centrarchids 

 from the vicinity of Washington, D. C, one of 

 these being apparently a cross between C. gulosus 

 and L. gibbosus; another between C. gulosus and 

 L. cyanellus Ratinesque. In this connection it is 

 interesting to note that C. gulosus is not a native 

 species, having been introduced into the Potomac 

 by the Fish Commission about 1895.

SOME NOTES OX THE CRICKET FROG 

 OX LONG ISLAND. 



The country lying between Mushing and 

 Jamaica is an excellent place for frogs. In the 

 woods and between the woods are many small 

 ponds varying from a small pool to a fair-sized 

 pond, big and deep enough to swim in. Here as 

 early as March 23, 1913, 1 found and collected sev- 

 eral Cricket Frogs. Later, as the spring advanced, 

 they became quite common, the small gray frogs 

 being the most plentiful. 



This year, 1914, their appearance was later, 

 April 19 being the first. Two weeks later, May 3, 

 I collected several and heard the song; about 11 

 o'clock one sang as I watched it. Later in the 

 day, at a pond some two miles northeast, I heard 

 some more, while those in my collecting box sang 



several times.
