But Acris gryllus has a distinct voice of his does not whistle an uninterrupted note, butbreaks into musical crepitations some-what resembling the broken tone ofa rattle whistle. His voice has thesame character as that of thecommon toad, but its quality ismore nearly like that of the treecricket. More than one natural-ist has suggested its likeness tothe rapid striking together of twopebbles, but to my ear the pebbles are not musicalenough ; impart to them some of the cheery jin-gle of sleighbells and then I will admit the simili-tude. In appearance the cricket frog altogether differs. ife_A Savannah Cricket{Acris gryllus).
