31. Hyla aurea. — Common Golden Tree Frog

31. Hyla aurea.

Common Golden Tree Frog.

This species, widely distributed over Australia, is the most common of all our Batrachians: the natives when pinched for food capture large numbers of it by the light of a torch at night; a supply of this frog can always be secured wherever there is fresh water near.
