filled with water. Their discordant notes could be heard a long 

 distance. On July 20, 1907, I found at Lakehurst two partly 

 grown individuals that had fallen into a cemented drain, up the 

 steep sides of which they could not climb. On August 17 an- 

 other was found in the same drain, and still another at the 

 bottom of a shallow well that had become nearly dry. On 

 October 12, 1907, with Professor Wm. M. Wheeler and Mr. 

 G. P. Engelhardt, we found a somewhat larger individual in the 

 same cement-lined drain. One of' these toads was kept alive 

 some time and fed on flies, but died after being fed on green 

 flies. Mr. Engelhardt also had a frog die suddenly after it had 

 devoured meat flies. The spade-foot toad has also been found 

 on Staten Island. 



Pseudacris triseriatus (Wied.). The swamp tree toad was 

 found in considerable numbers in small pools bordering the rail- 

 road track at Singac, N. J., on March 12, 1898. 



Hyla andersonii Baird. In addition to the notes on this species 

 printed in the American Naturalist, it may be added that it occurs 

 still further north than Lakehurst and Farmingdale, and ha^ been 

 heard by the writer at Jamesburg on the South River. Messrs. 

 Miller, Chapin, and Skinner have found the frog at Runyon, also 

 on the South River. It no doubt occurs as far north as the 

 Raritan. 



On the evening of July 19, 1907, I went hunting Hyla ander- 

 sonii at Lakehurst. The first one that I heard was in a small red 

 maple and about eight feet from the ground. This was quite 

 high up, for they usually climb only five or six feet from the 

 ground. I could not reach the little frog, nor could I bend the 

 sapling that hung over a marshy place. I therefore shook it 

 suddenly, which caused the frog to jump into a still smaller 

 maple. This I could bend over, and it sat looking at me until 

 I captured it with my hand. 



Of quite a different disposition was the next one I found. It 

 also was in a small maple, but when it saw me and I tried to 

 capture it with my two insect nets, it immediately jumped and
