134 NORTH AMEBICAN" FAUNA. [No. 22, October, 1902.] 



taken in our traps as well as by hand. At Fort Churchill, though 

 frogs were reported to be frequently heard in the marshes, we were 

 able to obtain but one specimen. This is characterized by extremely 

 short legs, and differs further from any others collected in being 

 heavilj^ vermiculated on the sides with black. Most of the specimens 

 collected have a grayish median dorsal stripe. The color from life of 

 a York Factory- specimen is as follows: Back grayish green, sparingly 

 spotted with black, and with a greenish-white median dorsal stripe; 

 beneath greenish white, darkest on sides. 



Rana septentrionalis Baird. 



Specimens recorded by Cope under the name Rana cantalrlgensis 

 t'oittata from Moose River, Ontario, are referable to Rana septen- 

 t-rlonalis, as stated by Howe." 



Chorophilus septentrionalis Boulenger. Northern Chorophilus. 



ChoropMlus septentrionalis Boulenger, Cat. Batrachia Salientia Brit. !Mus., p. 335,

We found this species throughout the region between Lake Win- 

 nipeg and York Factory, and took specimens at the following localities: 

 Taft's Fishery (Great Playgreen Lake), 1; Norway^ House, 3; Oxford 

 House, 1; York Factory, 3. 



These specimens appear to be referable to »'ptentri<)nalis, the type 

 locality of which is Great Bear Lake, as the tibio-tarsal joint does not 

 reach the tympanum when the leg is stretched forward. The fol- 

 lowing brief description of the color was taken from a live specimen 

 from Oxford Plouse: Body light green above, greenish white beneath; 

 body stripes bronzy lavender; tympanum brownish; hind legs light 

 green above, flesh color beneath.

 Bay, collected by F. W. Hayden" (probably mistakes for W. Haydon). 



Plethodon oinereus Green.

 ably from the region about James Bay, collected by C. Drexler.''
