CONTRIBUTIONS TO A MORE EXACT KNOWLEDGE 



OF THE GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF 



AUSTRALIAN BATRACHIA. No. iii. 



By J. J. Fletcher. 



This third small contribution records the collections which have 

 coine to hand since June last. The subject is not by any means 

 exhausted ; but as there is no immediate prospect of further 

 supplies of material, the results so far gained may presently be 

 briefly reviewed ; and with this, for the time being, one must be 

 coutent. 



(ii.) The inland division of N.S. W. (West of the Dividing Range). 



(r) From Lucknow, near Orange (collected by Mr. W. W. 

 Froggatt). 



Limnodynastes tasmaniensis Hyperolia marmorata 



dorsalis Pseudophryne bihronii 



Hyla ewingii, vslv. B. 



Only one species in this collection calls for comment, namely 

 II. efvingii, var. B (eleven specimens), characterised, as to most 

 of the specimens, by the presence of even more spots and markings 

 on the flanks and elsewhere than in var. A (calliscelis) and than 

 I have ever previously seen. This is the first time, too, that the 

 species has occurred in any of the collections from the inland 

 division, and it is probably to be regarded as a straggler from the 

 coast. Further references to these specimens will be found below. 



(s) From Wellington Caves (collected by Mr. W. W. Froggatt). 

 Limnodynastes tasmaniensis Fsetidophryne bihronii
