Excerpt from The Book North, American Toads and Frogs: With a Study of the Habits, and Life Histories of Those, of the Northeastern States The original manuscript for this book concerned Toads and Frogs of Northeastern North America only. It was compiled largely from notes made during a period of some ten years in Minnesota, Michigan, Tennessee, New Ham-shire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. It was written with the direct aim of making these forms known and appreciated by people interested in nature. Brief accounts of the species of other parts of North America were added later. These descriptions and the photographs accompanying them were made from living material shipped from various parts of the continent. This collection of material is in the American Museum of Natural History, New York, with the exception of specimens of Colour Plates XI and XVI which are in the National Museum at Washington. The Colour Plates were made from photographs from life, some of the plates representing eight or ten negatives. They were coloured from living material by Mr. Herbert L. Guild of Providence working under the supervision of the author Owing to the careful work of Mr. Guild on the originals and to the efforts of the Publishers to obtain accurate reproductions, these plates are unusually true to life. Of course, in many cases, the colour represented may be only one phase in a complex and changing colouration. Twelve black and white plates showing typical haunts of common toads and frogs are from photographs by Mr. W. A. Dean, Artist Photographer of Providence. Various line drawings introduced to indicate food or enemies or to act as a calendar, were made by Miss Alma Field of Providence. With few exceptions the subjects for these line drawings were taken from photographs from life by the author. Sincere gratitude is especially due to three people: Dr. J. Percy Moore of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
