April, 1780, Aged 54 years, 
By scratching away the dead leaves lying 
among the thick growth of briers in the little 
woodland burying ground situated between 
Richmond and New Springville, two small 
home made grave stones were found. One 
of them was badly broken and indistinctly 
dated 1755, or possibly 4750. The other 
reads: 
Here Lies the Body of Nicholas 
Dupuy; Jun; Dec’d March ye 4, 
1753. 
The homestead burying ground not pree 
viously mentioned in these records, is situated 
but a short distance from St Paul’s church on 
28 
the Amboy road Tottenville. It belongs to 
the Wood family, and is planted with rose 
bushes and old fashioned flowers. Alto- 
gether it ts one of the most pleasing private 
burying grounds onthe Island, but it con- 
tains no inscribed stones 
Mr, Davis also exhibited a complete series 
of the frogs and toads thus far found on the 
Island, preserved in formalin, together witha 
specimen of the Swamp Tree Frog from Liitle 
Falls, N.J., and read the following note: 
AN ADDITION TO THE LIST OF STATEN ISLAND 
FROGS. 
In the list of Reptiles and Batrachians of the 
Island, published in our Proceedings for Oct. 
1884, as Extra No.1, the names of nine frogs. 
and toads are given. Curiously enough at 
that time the bull frog (Rana 4 Catesbiana) 
could not be added tothe list, though Mr. 
E.F Neilson and I had searched carefully for 
it It certainly must have been very scarce 
if present at all in Clove Valley, In recent 
years, however, I have seen and heard in- 
dividuals in the Clove Valley. and in Van 
Wagenen’s pond, nearthe Fingerboard road, 
and at other localities. The specimen I have 
to exhibit was given to me by Mr, Ira Kk, 
Morris, and was captured on the south side 
of the Island by a friend of his 
‘The only additional frog likely to be found 
on the Island is the Swamp Tree Frog, 
(Chorophilus triseriatus) which ¥ have collect~ 
ed at Little Falls, New Jersey. 
MINOR NOTS, 
Mr. Samuel Henshaw exhibited a section 
ofa pear tree trunk from West New Brighton, 
showing borings made by the larve of an in- 
sect two living specimens of which were in- 
cluded. These were identified by Mr. Davis 
as the laryz of the Leopard Moth, (Zeuzeva 
Escuii Linn.) a memorandum upon which 
was published in our Proceedings for March 
18th, 1893.
