262 Thirty-fourth Annual Meeting. 
superintendent of the Wayne County hatchery, discovered that 
the frogs were very fond of the tadpoles and devoured them 
very eagerly; so it is quite possible that the frogs them- 
selves were partly responsible for this destruction of many of 
the frogs in Corry pond. It therefore follows that when we 
carry on frog culture it will be necessary to have an additional 
pond to the one in which the frogs are kept; that either the 
spawn must be taken out and hatched elsewhere, or the tadpoles 
and the frogs must be separated. 
We find also some other enemies among birds. Not only the 
ordinary preditory birds, but the crows have developed great 
fondness for tadpoles, and Mr. Buller had quite a time with them 
for several days, until he managed to keep them off by scare- 
crows. 
It is needless to say that, considering the general excitement 
in regard to putting forth frogs by Pennsylvania, and in 
ending what I have got to say here, perhaps it might not be un- 
interesting to read you a short clipping coming from a little pa- 
per in Hanover, Pennsylvania, which shows that even we our- 
selves who hatch fish and frogs do not know everything. This 
little item is entitled, “Pretty Little Frogs,” and is as follows: 
FOUR THOUSAND HOPPERS RECEIVED BY HANOVER PARTIES. 
Messrs. 8. W. Yingling, of Hotel Hanover, and H. M. Stokes, 
of York St., have received from the State Fish Hatchery at 
Pleasant Mount, Wayne County, a consignment of 2000 young 
bullfrogs, in two cans, each can containing 1000 frogs. Two 
additional cans were received by parties residing in the country 
near Hanover. 
The frogs are sent out by the State Fish Commission for 
propagation in the streams of this vicinity. Mr. Yingling took 
his brood to Waldheim Wednesday, and released them in the 
Conewago Creek. 
The bullfrogs in this shipment are of a different species 
from that known in this section. Each frog is about one-fourth 
of an inch long, and perfectly formed like a full-grown frog, 
only much smaller. They are of French origin, and do not pass 
through the tadpole or “mullygrub” evolution. They are dainty 
little creatures in their present state, but appear lively and are 
ready to hop or swim whenever given a chance.
