  specimens 
  from 
  Tuscany 
  and 
  Umbria 
  mentioned 
  by 
  

   Bedriaga 
  in 
  his 
  description 
  of 
  E. 
  latastii 
  must 
  also 
  

   be 
  identified 
  with 
  E. 
  grseca. 
  I 
  have 
  strong 
  reason 
  

   to 
  believe 
  the 
  species 
  will 
  be 
  found 
  all 
  along 
  the 
  

   Apennine 
  chain, 
  as 
  Prof. 
  Giglioli 
  kindly 
  informs 
  me 
  

   a 
  brown 
  frog 
  closely 
  resembling 
  E. 
  latastii 
  occurs 
  

   in 
  the 
  provinces 
  Umbria, 
  Rome, 
  Terra 
  di 
  Lavoro, 
  

   Basilicata, 
  and 
  Calabria, 
  at 
  altitudes 
  varying 
  between 
  

   1300 
  and 
  3000 
  feet. 
  It 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  hoped 
  Prof. 
  Giglioli 
  

   will 
  soon 
  be 
  able 
  to 
  undertake 
  a 
  careful 
  study 
  of 
  the 
  

   vast 
  material 
  at 
  his 
  command, 
  and 
  thus 
  settle 
  in 
  a 
  

   more 
  exact 
  manner 
  the 
  range 
  of 
  the 
  various 
  species 
  of 
  

   brown 
  frogs 
  in 
  the 
  Italian 
  peninsula. 
  

  

  Since 
  the 
  preceding 
  lines 
  were 
  set 
  up 
  in 
  type 
  I 
  

   have 
  received 
  from 
  Count 
  Peracca, 
  who 
  is 
  now 
  

   (March, 
  1898) 
  on 
  a 
  collecting 
  expedition 
  in 
  the 
  

   south 
  of 
  Italy, 
  information 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  occurrence 
  of 
  

   this 
  species 
  in 
  the 
  environs 
  of 
  Potenza, 
  Basilicata. 
  

   We 
  therefore 
  feel 
  justified 
  in 
  concluding 
  that 
  all 
  pre- 
  

   vious 
  references 
  to 
  E. 
  temporaria 
  and 
  E. 
  latastii 
  from 
  

   the 
  Italian 
  peninsula, 
  south 
  of 
  Florence, 
  are 
  based 
  

   on 
  specimens 
  of 
  E. 
  grseca 
  and 
  E. 
  agilis. 
  

  

  The 
  three 
  specimens 
  figured 
  on 
  PI. 
  XXII 
  are 
  from 
  

   Italy. 
  I 
  am 
  indebted 
  for 
  them 
  to 
  Count 
  Peracca. 
  

   The 
  left-hand 
  figure 
  is 
  taken 
  from 
  a 
  male 
  from 
  Siena 
  ; 
  

   the 
  right-hand 
  figures 
  represent 
  a 
  female 
  from 
  Monte 
  

   Morello 
  (Florence), 
  and 
  the 
  aberrant 
  male, 
  from 
  the 
  

   same 
  locality, 
  noticed 
  above, 
  p. 
  316.
