The specimen above described is one of types from Sonora. In 

 specimens from some other parts of Mexico and the United States the 

 wliite spot below the eye is not found. In a specimen from the Colo- 

 rado River (4570) there are seven rows of dark brown spots of moderate 

 size on the back. Specimens from El Paso, Texas, have been referred 

 to as distinct species under the name of H. copii, by Dr. Boulanger 

 (loc. cit.). The only peculiarity which the description indicates is a 

 somewhat smaller tympanic drum. It is said to be one-half the eye at 

 the first reference, and " hardly one-third " at the second. 



The Hyla arenicolor is quite abundant as far south as Guanajuato, 

 Mexico, where Dr. Alfredo Dug6s has found it. This gentleman informs 

 me that its voice is much like that of the bleating of goats.
