A specimen taken by me in Trough Creek Yalley, Huntingdon 

 County, Pa., has broad uninterrupted bands, as in the C. triseriatiis 

 but has not its median muzzle band. The voice of this animal was sim- 

 ilar to that of the latter species. 



A specimen of nearly the size and form of Hyla femoralis was taken 

 in west Pennsylvania, near the Kiskiminitas Kiver, In proportions it 

 does not differ from the Feriarum, but the toes are fringed, the dilata- 

 tions larger, and the coloration different. Above blackish-ash, abruptly 

 defined on the sides. Lateral band not extending beyond tympanum. 

 No median dorsal band, but two black dorsolaterals of double ordi- 

 nary width converge from each tympanum and extend to end of urostyle 

 inclosing with the interorbital triangle a narrow, anteriorly bifurcate 

 dorsal band of the ground color. The note of this species is quite dif- 

 ferent from that of the G. triseriatus, not being continuous, but in sets of 

 crepitations repeated in time and at intervals. 



This variety may not be more allied to the Feriarum than to the others, 

 and may be called G. feriarum brachyjphonus.
