IT is certainly a common opinion in this part of the country that when frogs become of a bright yellow colour fine weather may be expected. The brightness of colour can scarcely be due to the presence of sunlight, for frogs of a bright yellow may frequently be found in cellars, wells, and other dark places. Throughout the past summer and up to the present time, I have noticed that the frogs in this neighbourhood have been of an extraordinarily brilliant yellow tint. Again and again have I heard the country people, working in the hay or corn fields, under the unbroken canopy of cloud, remark—“We must be going to have fine weather now, for look at the colour of the frogs.” These forecasts proved the reverse of successful.
