Two of these species, //. jjeronii and //. lesueurii, were repre- 

 sented in Mr. Musson's collection previously recorded from the 

 same place ; and H. ccerulea then obtained is not in Mr. Lea's 

 collection. //. ewinyii var. calliscelis and H. lesueurii are pro- 

 bably stragglers from the Tableland, from which indeed Tarn worth 

 is apparently not sufficiently remote to exhibit in at all a marked 

 manner the distinguishing characteristics of the subregion. 



(ee) From Warialda ; 1106 feet; 162 miles from the coast 

 (Mr. J. H. Rose). 



Limnodynastes ornatus Heleioporus pictus 



Two specimens of the former and one of the latter, which was 

 turned up by the plough. Mr. Rose could have made a larger 

 collection than this. His supply of spirit being very limited, 

 however, he merely brought three frogs which he had not met 

 with before (at Euroka). 



From four localities close to or west of the Divide on the 

 Northern Tableland (including Waroo in S. Queensland) fourteen 

 species have been recorded ; from seven localities west of the 

 Divide on the Southern Tableland fifteen species ; and from the 

 Blue Mts. east of the Divide seventeen species : total for the 

 Tablelands twenty-one species (including Fseudophryne coriacea 

 at Waroo only), but without a single species peculiar to the 

 subregion. Its fauna is made up of more or less cosmopolitan 

 species slightly overlapped by some of the characteristic species 

 of each of the adjacent subregions, for it certainly does separate 

 two groups of genera and species which though they have a good 

 deal in common yet present characteristic differences shown in the 

 subjoined table : — 



Coast. Plains. 



Mixophyes fasciolatus Li7rinodynastes Jletcheri'^ 



Limyiodynastes peronii Ghiroleptes 2)lcttycephalus 



Cryptotis brevis Ileleioporus pictus 



* Possibly only a well-marked variety of L. tasmaniensis.
