AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES OF BEXAR COUNTY 13 



low country southeast of San Antonio, commencing with San 

 Miguel Creek, a tributary to the Medina. Later, Marnock sent 

 a specimen from Helotes to the National Museum. I found four 

 fine specimens in the Marnock collection. Two of these are about 

 the size of an adult Hyla versicolor while the other two are much 

 larger. 



17. Hyla cinerea (Schneider) Green Tree Frog; Bell Frog 



Calamita cinereus Schneider, Hist. Amph., Vol. I, 1799, 



p. 174. 



Hyla carolinensis semifasciata Cope 



This species has been collected in several localities by a 

 number of collectors. Several from San Antonio are in the 

 United States National Museum and were collected by J. H. 

 Clark about the year 1854. The Baylor University Museum con- 

 tains one specimen from San Antonio, received from C. S. Brim- 

 ley, two from St. Louis College campus, ten miles from the city; 

 and several from Helotes, collected by Mr. Marnock. 



18. Hyla squirella Latreille Spotted Tree Frog 



Hyla squirella Latreille, Hist. Nat. Rept., Vol. 2, 1802, 



p. 181. 

 Louis Garni, sent me an example of this species, accom- 

 panied by the following ' note : "Found two specimens in the 

 areas around the (St. Louis) college buildings during the days 

 of the heavy rains last fall. ' ' This seems to be the only record 

 for Bexar County. I found no specimens in the Marnock «ol* 

 lection. 



19. Hyla versicolor versicolor Le Conte Tree Toad 



Hyla versicolor Le Conte, Ann. Lye New York, Vol. 1, 



Pt. 2, 1821, p. 281. 

 In Texas, this tree toad is principally an inhabitant of the 

 extreme eastern counties. It occurs locally in the coast country 

 as far south as Refugio and Victoria, counties, and typical speci- 

 mens have been recorded from the interior as far as New Braun- 

 fels. Mr. C. S. Brimley wrote me some years ago that he had 

 received tree toads from San Antonio that he considered more 

 nearly versicolor than its subspecies chrysoscelis. However, he 

 stated that they were by no means typical of the former sub- 

 species. In the Marnock collection, in a jar containing speci- 

 mens of Hyla baiidinii, I found one specimen which I consider 

 a typical versicolor. In this specimen, the upper surfaces are 

 very tubercular and the color pattern is identical with that of 

 eastern specimens. This specimen is probably from Helotes as 

 the other specimens in the jar were from there.
