tliighs are dull flesb color, very faintly clouded with brown ; no indica- 

 tions, however, of light spots or dark vermiciilations. 



Specimens differ In less amount of white on the jaw, and in tint of 

 ground color, which is described as green in life. With a considerable 

 resemblance to H. femoralis, it may be always distinguished by the 

 white line along the edge of the mouth and by the absence of distinct 

 circular white (yellow in life) spots on the posterior faces of the thighs.

The specimen measured is of full size. They are rarely larger, and 

 frequently a little smaller. 



This species approaches nearly some forms of iZ". re(/illa, of which it 

 may be ctnsidered the southeastern»representative, though the regions 

 inhabited by both approach in Texas. It may be always distinguished 

 by the more depressed head and weaker canthus rostralis ; it is rarely 

 so robust and usually of more delicate and less striped coloration. 

 S. miotympcmum Cope replaces it in Mexico ; the resemblance between 

 them is offset by the greater palmation and smaller tympanum of the 

 latter. In its distribution this species extends well up the Mississippi 

 valley. A specimen of larger than usual dimensions was sent me from 

 near Brookville, Ind., by my friend Amos W. Butler.
