of them west of the Dividing Range, several other smaller and 

 less complete inland collections also being taken into account. 



(i.) The Coastal division of N.S. W. (East of the Dividing Range). 



(a) From Dunoon, Richmond River (collected by R. Helms). 



This collection comprising about eighty individuals referable to 

 twelve species was obtained during a month's general collect- 

 ing (March-April, 1890), under very unfavourable conditions of 

 weather, floods and impassable roads confining the collector to a 

 limited area. The species obtained were : — 



CvsTiGNATHlDiE — Mixophyes fasciolatiis, Gthr. 



Limnodynastes jysi'onii, D. & B. 



salminii, Stdchr. 



tasmaniensis, Gthr. 

 Cryptotis brevis, Gthr. 

 Phanerotis Jletcheri, Blgr. 



BuFONlDiE — Pseudophryne hihronii, Gthr. 



coriacea, Keferst. 



Hylid^e — Hyla cceridea, White. 



dentata, Keferst. 

 lesueurii, D. & B. 



As regards individuals, H. ccfrulea was most numerously repre- 

 sented, examples in many stages being present. The adults, as 

 also those of Mixofhyes and H. lesueurii, are large and very fine 

 specimens, considerably larger than any I have had from other 

 parts of N.S.W. Of most interest were five specimens of Phan- 

 erotis, of which the two largest are 48 and 42 mm. respectively 

 from snout to vent ; both have the two inner fingers fringed on the 

 sides ; and while one is almost devoid of rosy spots, the other is 

 more profusely blotched than the type specimen, as for example on 

 the upper surface of the fore-limbs, and edging the dark border on 

 the hind limbs, as well as indications of a few less conspicuous 

 blotches on the dorsal surface of the body. Mr. Helms informs 

 me that Phanerotis is a brush-haunting species, and is well endowed 

 with saltatory powers.
