This is the most southerly coastal locality from which I have 

 up till now been able to obtain specimens. Though in the time 

 at my disposal the area collected over — a rather sandy tract in 

 proximity to swamps — was not of great extent, half-grown s[)eci- 

 niens of II. dentata "were surprisingly numerous, some of them 

 jumping about in the grass. 



On the occasion of my second brief \'isit (early in October) 

 L. dorsalis at least was spawning vigorously. In more suitable 

 country a few miles off near Toraerong, and in an umbrageous 

 creek between Tomerong and Nowra, H. i^hyllochroa was croaking 

 vigorously and preparing to spawn. In the B. M. Catalogue 

 (:2nd ed.) E. phyllochroa is recorded only from Sydney [and 

 Errumanga], and H. dentata only from Sydney. The range of 

 these two species, from present knowledge, may be said to be 

 from Jervis Bay (probably even further to the south, but not 

 extending to Victoria) northwards to the Clarence and Richmond 

 (probably into Queensland), and westward to the western slopes 

 of the Blue Mts. 



My hopes of finding that extremely rare frog HyJa jervisensis 

 were not realised. Though described by Duraeril and Bibron so 

 long ago as 1843, the species is, I believe, still known only from 

 the type specimen obtained during the voyao;e of Peron and 

 Lesueur.

Limnodynastes peronii Crinia signifera 



tasjnaniensis Pseudophryne hihronii 



Cryptotis hrevis Hyla eicingii var. calliscelis 



In this locality L. peronii and Cryptotis are apparently stragglers 

 from the coast.
