To the Editor Of the Press;

dered in his lecture upon batrachians. l regret
that was unable to hear or read DIR. Hills lee
ture and presume that he will not take the trouble
to instruct A. c. in Natural History. But having
nothing better to do this evening, viii answer A.
C's first question by saying that the toad and the
frog are not as much two distinct animals as the
OK and the horse, and that he is not "right' in
supposing that toads "hatch" their young without
seeing water. That toads 30 to sleep in his gar
den for the winter is about the only correct state
ment A c. makes.
Toads and frogs are of the same family Of batra-
chian reptiles and are very cosely allied, and
toads as a rule lay their eggs In water, when ac-
cessible and their young in the first stage are
"tadpoles" with tails. Some toads, however, dixie
some frogs) lay their eggs in, or on damp earth.
Both are amphibious. Frogs spend most of their
time in water, toads most of their time out of
water. Both occasionally roost in trees like owls,
and not always inside Of the owl. The toad is a
good fellow in the garden, and the frog is good
fellow on the breakfast table. They both sing
sweetly In the spring and spring-time (both sOl0
and orchestra.l think the toad has the most
timbre and perhaps the frog more falsett0-n you
are irying TO catch him. The frog is more sudden

Some frogs are no so easily distinguished from
their first double toad cousins as horse is from
an ox-as both frogs and t0ads have horns occa-
siOnally. But II "A. O." should ever think he did
not know |. ar will give him point to enable
him to distinguish himself, and the other two va
rieties, viz: All frogs have teeth, all tOads are
to0thless. Feel Uf their mouths my boy.
