Rana pardaViH Ilarlau, Amor. Jouru., x p. .oO. 



This species ai)i>roaclies near to the subspecies braehycephala of the 

 Rann virescens, although tlie distinction from the typical subspecies 

 can be readily perceived. Jn general it displays little variation of 

 characters, excepting in the length of the hind legs. Here about half 

 the specimens show a length which allows the heel to reach the end of 

 the muzzle, v*'.. ie in the other half it attain.s to different points from 

 the front of the orbit anteriorly {c. g. No. 3401). 



The muzzle is always more obtuse than in the It. virescens rirescens, and 

 generally a little more so than in the li. v. hrachyivphalu, but not always. 

 I describe a specimen from Garrison's, New York, as typical. Muzzle 

 flat above; rather truncate in profile, giving the head, when viewed from 

 above, a broadly obtuse acuminate outline. The nostril isu little nearer 

 the end of the muzzle than to the orbit. The tympanic disk is two- 

 thirds the diameter of the eye-fissure. The vomerine teeth are in trans- 

 verse patches between the nares, but the posterior edge line piqjecits 

 behind that which connects the posterior edges of the choana'. The 

 ostia pharyngea are larger than the choaiue. There are no external
