3. Brisbane, OLiccnsland. This specimen agrees almost 



exactly with Dr. Steindachner's figure" of Heliorana 

 grayi. 



4. Sydney, New South Wales. The largest Sydney example 



in the Australian Museum Collection. The average 

 length is about 50 m.m. 



5. Katoomba, Blue Mts., Central Tableland, New South 



Wales. A rather distinct race, with a greater develop- 

 ment of fringe and web than Sydney examples. A 

 specimen figured on PI. ii., Hgs. 1 and la. 



6. Jindabyne, Muniong Range, Southern Tableland, New- 



South Wales. This specimen -s regarded as the nearest 

 approach to var. intci'ioris on account of the excessive 

 webbing of the toes, it is in all respects however, a 

 true var. diimerilii. 



7. Bathurst, Central Tableland, New South Wales. Speci- 



men in the iMaclcay Museum. The type of marking on 

 this example is nearer the W^estern Australian form than 

 any other New South Wales specimen I have seen. 



8. Launccston, Tasmania. These specimens are typically 



the common eastern form. They appear to differ from 

 Flinders Island specimens in the obscurity of the dorsal 

 stripe, which is quite distinct in the Island specimens. 



9. Narracoorte, near the Victorian border in South Australia. 



These resemble the Bathurst specimens mentioned 

 abo\e in having very accentuated markings, and it 

 will be seen that they agree fairly well in measure- 

 ments also.
