330 BULLETIN 34, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 



posterior face of the tbigh is more distinct. Tlie limbs are more finely- 

 barred above, three or four fascise on each joint; the iii)per and outer 

 surface of the hands and feet also finely barred. 



The skin above seems rather smoother than in the other, while the 

 throat is more granulated. 



As regards the transition between this subspecies and the A. g. orepi 

 tans, a number of specimens display intermediate proportions. Thus 

 in some the posterior foot, minus the tarsus, is exactly half the length 

 of the head and body. In some lots from a single locality some speci- 

 mens have the hind foot one-half the length, while others fall a little 

 below, and still others fall a little above this proportion. Such a lot is 

 that from Cooper County, Mo., No. 3557, 



The distinctness of the posterior femoral brown strii)e is subject to 

 variation. In typical A. g. gryllus it is sharp, and is bordered above 

 and below by pale bands, of which the latter is again bordered below 

 by a darker shade. In other specimens the lower pale band is shaded, 

 and its inferior brown edge is indistinct. The inferior edge of the 

 brown band becomes irregular, and in the A. g. crepitans it is a good 

 deal interrupted by paler.
