THE FLYING-FROG.
There are flying-frogs as well as (lying squirrels and flying fishes, and all use a kind of aeroplane for making short flights. The flying-frog of Java has been described by Professor Siedlecki, of the University of farcow, under the name of Polypedates Reinwardii. It is usually a beautiful green in colour, with white belly, and orange-yellow soaring membranes between the Angers. It is like the chameleon, however, in its colour changes. It feeds on insects, remains juiet in bushes by day, and when disturbed glides quickly away to a distance.
