276 DESCRIPTION OF A SUPPOSED NEW CYSTIGNATHOID FROG. 



Twelve specimens from snout to vent 18-26 mm. 



Hab. — Buninyong, and Gong Gong, near Ballarat, Victoria ; 

 common under logs in valleys (W. W. Froggatt). 



The specimens from the two localities differ to some extent in 

 the amount of the dark tint present on the ventral surface, five 

 from Buninyong being much more spotted or marbled. 



This is a third species belonging to the section of the genus in 

 which vomerine teeth are present, and it is in some respects inter- 

 mediate in character between C. georgiana, D. & B., and C. 

 victoriana, Blgr. It resembles the former in having carmine 

 spots present, but differs in having the lower surface less granular, 

 the tympanum quite hidden, the belly not immaculate, no tarsal 

 fold, and but one metatarsal tubercle. On the other hand it is in 

 many respects allied to C. victoriana, but differs from that species 

 in not having the skin smooth above and below, as well as in 

 pattern and colour.
