662 AUSTRALIAN BATRACHIA, 



abouts, I am not at present in a position to offer any remarks 

 upon the geographical distribution of the species within the 

 limits of Tasmania. Of the three species which have not come 

 under my notice, two are known from Tasmania only by single 

 specimens in the B.M. Collection, presented (prior to the publi-

 Smith, without information as to the collector's name.

1. LiMNODYNASTES Pbronii, D. et B. — The only specimen known 

 from Tasmania is one presented to the British Museum Collection

 Launceston (Mr. A. Simson). Seven typical examples with a

5. C. TASMANlENSis, Gthr. —I have not seen an example of this 

 species, which is known only from " several specimens " in the 

 British Museum Collection. It is a smooth-bellied Crinia which 

 should be easily recognisable by the folio winf; characters : — Toes 

 fringed, subarticular tubercles moderate, two small metatarsal 

 tubercles, upper and lower surfaces smooth ; " the lower parts 

 beautifully rose-coloured, largely marbled with black." Vomerine
