Rana temporaria is common throughout Ireland. In Rutty’s 
‘Natural History of Dublin,” the Frog is said to have been 
“brought into this kingdom in 1699 by Dr. Guithers:” from 
those introduced by this gentleman to the University Park, 
Dublin, it is considered that all the frogs in Ireland and her 
islands* owe their origin! Bufo calamita is found in several 
parts of the county of Kerry, where it is believed to be in- 
digenous. Triton cristatus is noticed by Templeton; to 
myself it is unknown. Liss. punctatus occurs from north to 
south, but is not universally distributed. Liss. palmipes has 
been so accurately described to me as to warrant its introduc- 
tion, with a mark of doubt: I have not yet seen examples of it. 
Bufo vulgaris, though so common in Great Britain, is not 
found in Ireland. Triton Bibronii is a recently-distinguished 
British species.
