NOTE. 



HYLODES PICKEBINGII. This beautiful native reptile first described and 

 figured by Dr. Holbrook, in his North American Herpetology, will be found 

 to be described under an incorrect name, viz: (Hyla femoralis, var. c.) 

 See p. 93. The Genus Hylodes was separated from Hyla by Zitzenger, on 

 account of the absence of a sternum (breastbone) as in the true Hyla. Dr. 

 CHARLES PICKERING, formerly of this city, discovered it, in this vicinity, several 

 years ago, and, as a new species, it has been dedicated to him ; a tribute of 

 scientific respect.
