Young green frogs match the foil

emotions with high scream that
sends cold shivers racing up and

Their counting song is more cheer

And it has lot of volume and de-

Sometimes when there is no answer

notes. These, from a distance, have

BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

Throughout eastern North Amer
lea, Canada and Florida the green
frog is common and abundant. 1t is
easily recognized because of its
bright metallic green head and
shoulders and the golden band along
the lines of the jaw from the shoul-
der forward. The throat of the male
is a brilliant orange-yellow. The
females throat is pure white, with
dark spots on it. The green of the
body color is often marked with
large, dark splotches, while the legs
are barred with the same dark
shade.
The female is the larger, measur-

to the tip of her spine from to S

than 3l2 inches from stem to stern.
Both have skin that is rough They
have stout bodies. The ear of the
male is larger than his eye. For
such robust jumpers they are Short
