LISTS OF THE ANIMALS COLLECTED 93 



Snapping Turtle (Chclydra serpentina). Fairly frequent in 

 water holes. 



Common Toad (Bufo amcricanus). Quite plentiful especially 

 around buildings. 



Great Plains Toad (Bnfo co gnat us). This "leopard" toad 

 was met with twice, once just west of the North Cave Hills and 

 the other time near the Slim Buttes. This apparently establishes 

 a new northern limit to its range. 



Tree Frog (Acris gryllus). I captured an individual of this 

 species near the dump-pond in the East Short Pine Hills. 



[Spade-foot Toad (Scaphiopus hammondii bombifrons). This 

 toad ought to be found in this county, though we did not suc- 

 ceed in finding it. It comes out only after heavy rains and such 

 were very rare in 1910, 1911, which may account for not seeing 

 any.] 



Common Leopard Frog (Rana pipieiis). Green frogs are 

 most plentiful along the springs in the buttes, but are locally 

 abundant elsewhere. We had several meals on them. 



Mud Puppy (Xocturus inaculosna). Mud Puppies believed 

 to be of this species were seen several times. They are quite 

 common about cellars, etc.
