 ula aud extends nearly to the groin. It is bounded above by separate 

 blackish spots, and below by similar spots, which are closer together. 

 These form the superior border of a lead colored band. This disappears 

 below in a crowd of small black spots, which grow smaller and disap- 

 pear on the sides of the abdomen. The integument thus marked is 

 areolated. All the lighter parts of this region are dotted with small 

 pink spots. Posterior faces of fore-arm, femur, tarsus, and external 

 metatarsi blackish, with small yellow speckles. The limbs have on their

This species is well characterized by the length of its legs, the short 

 and peculiar form of its head, the smoothness of its lower surfaces, and 

 the color. Though not stated on the label, the specimen described is 

 probably from Gainsboro, in Central Northern Texas. 



HYLA ANDEESONII Baird (p. 365). 



The Kev. Dr. John E. Peters informs me that ho took a specimen of 

 this rare tree-frog near Ma} 's Landing, N. J. This is the third individual 

 that has been found, and the locality is not far from that at which Dr. 

 Leutz took the second one. Dr. Peters found the specimen on the 

 ground near a piece of water. Its note is unlike that of HyJa versicolor, 

 being a hoarse peep-peep, or, according to Dr. Abbott, a keck-keck.
