Tivo Neiv SjJecies of Frogs from Victoria. Ill 



rostralis not strongly marked. Interorbital space as broad as the 

 length of the orbit. Tympanum not visible. Fingers blunt and 

 free ; first finger not extending so far as the second. Toes short 

 and blunt, no trace of webbing ; subarticular tubercles present ; 

 three metacarpal tubercles, the inner one strongly, the outer 

 feebly developed. The inner metatarsal tubercle small and blunt. 

 Hind limb short, stout and strongly built ; carried forwards the 

 tibio-tarsal articulation barely reaches as far forwards as the 

 shoulder. Upper eyelids, tympanic region, the top of the head 

 and dorsal surface of the body, the upper surface of the arm and 

 fore arm and the upper surface of the leg covered with small 

 warts arranged in roughly longitudinal rows along the back. A 

 very large and prominent triangular shaped parotid gland is 

 present on either side extending backwards over the shoulder 

 region ; the longest side of the triangle runs parallel to the mid 

 dorsal line and these two sides are separated from one another by 

 a space which is narrower than that between the orbits. From 

 the posterior angle a special row of warts somewhat larger than 

 the rest, runs backwards to the groin and is continued forwards 

 over the surface of the gland which is otherwise comparatively 

 smooth. Upper surface of body and limbs a general dark brown 

 colour with here and there small irregular light patches ; groins 

 and under surface of body and limbs yellowish, mottled with 

 brown.
