4 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 73 



The names of the Amphibia have also been studied by Dr. Arthiu* 

 E. Brown (Proceedings Academy Natural Science, Philadelphia, 

 1908) and he adopts them. 



All of these names have been published in certain zoological 

 journals for the information of zoologists, and in order to give mem- 

 bers of the profession the opportunity to express their opinion for or 

 against them. Not a single objection to any one of these names has 

 reached the Secretary's office. 



In view of the foregoing premises the Secretary recommends that 

 the names in question, with types cited, be placed in the Official List 

 of Generic Names.
