66 ON SOME NEW BATRACHIANS FROM QUEENSLAND, 



Four specimens collected at Mackay, by Mr. H. Ling Roth. 

 Approaching near to L. Pei'onii, the present is sufficiently distinct 

 from that species. Its chief differences are a shorter hind limb 

 and a well-defined continuity in its dorsal stripes. 



LlMNODYNASTES OLIVACEUS. 



Habit stout, with short strong hind limit. Tongue orbicular, 

 with the free hind edge slightly nicked. Vomerine teeth in an 

 interrupted sei'ies, each half slightly curved, extending a little 

 beyond the choanss, which are round. Snout rather longer than 

 the orbit, which is longer than the bony interorbit. Nostril 

 ecpially distant from the eye and tip of the snout. Tympanum 

 invisible. Canthus rostralis rounded. Loreal region shelving, 

 rather concave. Three metacarpal and two metatarsal tubercles ; 

 the inner metatarsal small, the outer long and low. On protraction 

 of the hind limb, the ankle reaches the hinder angle of the eye. 

 Skin of back and upper side of limbs covered with strong 

 tubercules.
