V. — On some Reptiles and Batrachians from Iguarasse, 

 Pernamhuco. By G. A. BouLENGER. 



[Plate III.] 



The Natural-History Museum has received a small collection 

 of Reptiles and Batrachians made at Iguarasse, Pernambuco, 

 by Mr. G. A. Ramage. Small as it is the collection is one 

 of the greatest interest, such as would hardly have been 

 expected from a part of Brazil which is regarded as one of the 

 best explored. Four species are new, two being of parti- 

 cular interest from a geographical point of view — the Phyllo- 

 dactylus as the first-known Brazilian representative of a genus 

 quartered in the West Indies, Central America, and Vene- 

 zuela ; the Nototrema (marsupial tree-frog) as extending the 

 range of a genus otherwise restricted to the Andes, from 

 Central America to Peru. The following known species 

 were obtained : — 



Hemidactylus mahouia, Mor. ; Enyalius catenatus, Wied ; 

 Strohilurus torquatus, Wiegm. ; Microblepharus Maximiliani, 

 R. & L. ; Amp)hishaina subocularis, Ptrs. ; Xenodon rhahdo- 

 cephalus, Wied ; Rana palmipes, Spix (larvge, body as large 

 as a pigeon's Q^g, with the anal opening on the right side) ; 

 Paludicola hiliyonigera, Cope j and Hyla rubra, Daud.* 



New species : — 



Sphcerodactylus meridionalis. 



Snout pointed, as long as the distance between the eye 



* To this list may be added the names of two reptiles previously ob- 

 tained by Mr. H. N. Ridley at Iguarasse, viz. Anolis fusco-auratus, 

 D'Orb., and Stenolejns Ridleyi, Blgr.
