Crinia tasmaniensis, Keferst, Arch, f. Naturg. 1868, p. 265, 
Vomerine teeth none. Snout rounded, slightly longer than the 
orbital diameter; nostril equally distant from the eye and the tip 
of the snout ; interorbital space as broad as the upper eyelid; tym- 
panum quite hidden. First finger shorter than second ; toes 
fringed; subarticular tubercles moderate; two small metatarsal 
tubercles; no tarsal fold. The hind limb being carried forwards 
along the body, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches the tympanic 
region. Upper and lower surfaces smooth. Upper parts dark 
brown, with a more or less distinct broad reddish-olive band 
running from behind the eye towards the loin ; lower parts beauti- 
fully rose-coloured, largely marbled with black; hinder side of 
thighs black. Male with a subgular vocal sac.

Vomerine teeth none. Snout rounded, a little longer than the

snout; interorbital space broader than the upper eyelid ; tympanum 
quite hidden. First finger very short; toes not fringed; sub- 
articular and metatarsal tubercles indistinct ; no tarsal fold. The 
hind limb being carried forwards along the body, the tibio-tarsal 
articulation reaches the shoulder. Upper and lower surfaces smooth.

surfaces spotted with brown.

Camariolius varius, Peters, Mon. Berl. Ac. 1863, p. 236.—Under 
this name Prof. Peters appears to have confounded two species. 
Thus, he says, ‘* Unterseite glatt oder mit dichtgedrangten Warzen 
an Bauch und Brust.”, Mr. Cope retains the name Orinia varia for 
the smooth-bellied form, and he justly observes that the presence or 
absence of granules on the lower surfaces must be of specific 
importance and not a sexual character, as believed by Dr. Stein- 
dachner. In this I perfectly agree with Mr. Cope, as I have seen 
male and female of C. georgiana and signifera. 
Peters’s smooth-bellied specimens are perhaps identical with(. tas- 
maniensis, those with granulate belly with C. signifera. But the 
description is too vague to permit an identification with these species.
