In the Northern River Districts and further to the north L. 

 salminii and L. ornatus ai-e coastal species : elsewhere in New 

 South Wales they are almost among the characteristic species 

 from the Plains, though the latter also extends to the Tableland 

 at Guntawang. H. rubella, the only West Australian form among 

 the species from the Plains, is a coastal species in Queensland but 

 not in N. S. Wales. Hence the geographical distribution of the 

 batrachia of Queensland will probably present some differences in 

 detail from that of the New South Wales species, a knowledge of 

 which would materially help to explain certain matters which for 

 the present must remain in doubt. 



Analogous cases of a similar remarkable distribution are fur- 

 nished by certain freshwater fishes, and earthworms. The Murray 

 cod-perch (Oligorus macquariensis ) and the freshwater cat-fish 

 ( C opidoglanis tandanus) occur both in the western waters, and 

 in the Northern River Districts in the eastern watei'S also, the 

 the latter in the Richmond, the former in the Clare'nce as well as
