WHITE FROG^ 



Rana Alba. R. tota alba. 



Frog entirely of a white colour. 



Hyla lactea. Laurenti Specim. Med, p. 34. 



La Couleur de Lait. Cepede ovip. 1. p. 5^1. 



This small species is a native of the warmer 

 parts of North America, where, like others of thi^ 

 tribe, it inhabits woods. It is entirely of a white 

 colour, with a few spots or patches on the upper 

 parts of a brighter or clearer white than the 

 ground-colour. It is said sometimes to vary ; the 

 ground-colour having a slight plumbeous or cine- 

 reous cast. 



BILINEATED FROG. 



Rana Bilineata. R. viridis, linea utrinque longitudinalijlava. 

 Green Frog, with a strait yellow line on each side the body. 

 Tree Frog. Catesb. Car. 2. p. 71. pi 71. 



This is figured by Catesby, and has generally 

 been considered as, at most, a variety of the com- 

 mon or European Tree Frog, from which it scarce 

 seems to differ, except in having the yellow line 

 on each side the body somewhat straiter, or with- 

 out those undulations which take place in the for- 

 mer animal. It inhabits woods, and is extremely 

 common in the warm and temperate parts of 

 North America.
