XVI. — Descriptions of two new Australian Frogs. 

 By G. A. Boulenger. 



The two frogs described here as new form part of a small 

 collection from South-eastern Australia presented to the 

 British Museum by Mr. J. J. Fletcher, of Sydney. 



Limnodynastes Fletclieri. 



Habit of Discoglossus. Tongue subcircular, slightly nicked 

 behind. Vomerine teeth in a straight, scarcely interrupted 

 series behind, and not extending outwards beyond, thechoanse. 

 Snout rounded, not longer than the diameter of the orbit ; 

 nostril equally distant from the eye and the tip of the snout ; 

 interorbital space nearly as broad as the upper eyelid ; tym- 

 panum indistinct. Fingers pointed, first not extending quite 

 so far as second ; two metacarpal tubercles ; toes pointed, 

 slightly fringed, with a very distinct basal web ; a small, 

 blunt, oval inner, and a very small outer metatarsal tubercle. 

 The tarso-metatarsal articulation of the adpressed hind limb 

 reaches halfway between the eye and the end of the snout. 

 Skin smooth or feebly warty above. Pale brown above, with 

 irregular insuliforra dark spots or marblings ; a dark band on 

 each side of the head, passing through the nostril and the 

 eye ; a dark bar below the eye ; a large subtriangular dark 

 spot between the eyes ; upper eyelid, in front of and behind 

 the dark spot, crimson ; female whitish inferiorly, closely 

 speckled with brown on the sides of the throat and on the 

 chin ; male with large dark brown blotches. 



From snout to vent 40 millim. 



Two specimens, male and female ; Guntawang, near Mud- 

 gee, New South Wales. 



Allied to L. tasmaniensis and platycephalus^ but differing 

 in the pointed digits and the more distinct web between the 

 toes. 



Crinia victoriana. 



Vomerine teeth in two very small oblique groups behind 

 the choanas. Snout rounded, as long as the diameter of the 

 orbit ; nostril equally distant from the eye and the tip of the 

 snout ; interorbital space broader than the upper eyelid ; tym- 

 panum hidden. First finger hardly half as long as second ; 

 toes free, not fringed ; subarticular and metatarsal tubercles
