ble that this species spends at least one whole year, and possibly two, 

 in the larva? state. 



Jjesinognathusj'tixca. Brown Triton. Found in all brooks, and is 

 very common. The larva? attain the adult condition in a shorter time 

 than those of Spelerpes bi [meatus, as though they are both hatched 

 about the same time; the larva of this species complete their meta- 

 morphosis in the autumn or winter following their birth, being then 

 only about one-half the size of larva? Spelt r/», bilineatus of the same age. 



We get specimens of very varying coloration ; some being nearly 

 black, some very light. 



Diemyetylvs triridescens. Newt. Common in weedy pools. 



Amphimna means. Rare. I know of eight adults and twenty-two 

 larva? having been taken here, all being two-toed specimens. 



Bufo americanus. Common Toad. Very abundant. Breeds in 

 spring and summer. , 



Smplnnpas holbrooi ii Last May I collected fifty breeding in a pool 

 only a few yards from my house ; in every case the grasp of the male 

 was inguinal. The cry was not much louder than that of the common 

 toad. I have occasionally dug them out of the ground. 



By la versicolor. Common. 



Hy la picketing ii. Abundant. Breeds in March and April. 



Cltoroj, In/us uriartht). Abundant. Breeds in February and March. 

 I have never seen this species except at the breeding season. 



Aeris gryllus. Cricket Frog. Abundant. Active all the year round 

 except in the severest weather. This species breeds from April through 



E)igij4oina caroliii'-nse. This species is very abundant in the breed- 

 ing season, which is in July and August, and possibly the two preced- 

 ing months. Have never seen any except when breeding ; I think 

 they are nocturnal. 



Rana pipien*. Leopard Frog. Abundant. Breeds in March. 



Rana clamata. Spring Frog. Common. 



Rana cutetbiana. Bull Frog. Not as common as the preceding two 

 breeds in February and March. 



Rana jmlu*tri#. Pickerael Frog. Rare, Only four specimens so far. 



The Frilled Lizard.— The report that the Frilled Li 

 iphwutru* kingii) inhabiting the tropical parts of the Australia 

 continent, is in the habit of running erect on its hind legs, receiv
