examined, afford information as to the little-known Batra- 

 chian fauna of the Province Santa Catharina. The principal 

 interest resides in the comparison with the fauna of the con- 

 tiguous province of Rio Grande do Sul, now fairly known, 

 thanks to the exertions of Hensel, von Ihering, and BischofF. 

 It will be seen from the following list that the range of 

 several forms recently discovered in the latter province ex- 

 tends to Santa Catharina.

 diameter of the eye. Fore limb much longer than its dis-

 obtuse, with a rudiment of web ; a single, \&yj small, 

 roundish, metatarsal tubercle. Dark brown above, with
