corded by Dr. Dendy and Prof. Spencer, Mr. Hedley describing them while 

 alive as »black at the oral extremity for about a quarter of an inch, the rest 

 of the body dull white«. The New South Wales specimen may, perhaps, 

 belong to the same species as those noted by Dendy, the colour being brown- 

 ish-orange , except for a lateral band on each side. If G. chalicophora, 

 Graff, like G. palaensis , Semper, has six eyespots, in two groups of three 

 each, then the specimens exhibited to-night, in which more than six eye- 

 spots are present, are not to be identified with the former, which is suppo- 

 sed to have been brought with palms from Australia to the palmhouse at 

 Frankfurt Zoological Gardens. — Also, a male specimen of Peripatus Leit- 

 ckarti, Sang, (the only male out of a total of five specimens obtained on the 

 Blue Mountains), which presents the exceptionally remarkable character of 

 possessing a pair of papillae — the only pair present, — on the ventral sur- 

 face of theirs/ pair of legs. — Also, a living specimen of Chiroleptes austra- 

 lis, Gray, forwarded from Herberton, Queensland, by Mr. F. Christian. This 

 species of frog inhabits the northern half of the continent, and has not been 

 recorded on the east coast from further south than the Clarence River.
