Mudgee district. From its occurrence in some of the other collec- 

 tions L. salminii might have been expected. Selioporus pictus 

 must be rare as there is only a single specimen in the collection ; 

 its only other recorded locality in N.S.W. is Rylstone in the same 

 district. 



(i) At Capertee (2700 feet) close to or almost on the Divide, I 

 found the following species common : — 



Limnodynastes tasmaniensis Crinia signifera 

 Psendo2-)hryne hibronii Hyla ewingii var. calliscelis 



(j) Fi'om Warren on the Macquarie (collected by Mr. C Thacker). 



Limnodynastes salminii Notaden bennettii 

 (k) From Dandaloo on the Bogan (collected by Mr. Alleine 

 Fletcher). Eighty specimens referable to the following species : — 

 Limnodynastes salminii Notaden bennettii, Gthr. 



tasmaniensis Hyla ccerulea 



Cldroleptes platycejihalus, Gthr. peronii 



Hyperolia martnorata rid)ella 



Hyla latopalmata 

 This also is an interesting collection, though Linnnodynastes 

 dorsalis, Crinia signifera, and H. aurea at least might have been 

 expected. Of greatest interest perhaps is the occurrence of Hyla 

 rubella (seven specimens), a species not previously recorded from 

 New South Wales, except by Keferstein (who merely gives 

 N.S.W. ), in reference to which it may be remarked that though 

 Keferstein was indebted to Mr. Kretft and Dr. Schuette for the 

 specimens described in his paper, nevertheless Mr. KrefFt writing 

 two years after Keferstein says of the distribution of H. rubella 

 " North-east and North " [Coast of Australia], nor does he men- 

 tion it as a N.S.W. species in any of his papers. The presence of 

 H. Iat02)almata (fourteen specimens), previously recorded only 

 from coastal localities is also interesting. The species most 

 numerously represented was L. tasmaniensis (27 specimens). 



This collection which was made chiefly in the hope of getting 

 Notaden bennettii, was sent to me in two instalments, the first 

 representing the frogs obtained from June to December, during 



which period Notaden was never once met with. In April,
