Darwin obtained it in Patagonia; and I met with many specimens of it in the eastern 
part of the Strait of Magellan, alike on the coast of Patagonia and that of Tierra del Fuego. 
Nearly all the specimens were taken on open ground; but one occurred in à wood in the 
neighbourhood of the Chilian settlement of Punta Arenas or Sandy Point.

This species is common about Rio Janeiro, but, like most of its tribe, not easy to 
capture.

3. PLEURODEMA BIBRONIIL, Tschudi. 
Taken in numbers at Talcahuano, Chili. 
4. CACOTUS, sp. 
_A single example of a Batrachian referred by Dr. Günther to this genus, but pro- 
nounced by him as in an unfit condition for being made the type of a distinct species, 
was taken on a tree at Huite, Chiloe. 
5. NANNOPHRYNE VARIEGATA, Günther, g. et sp. n., Proc. Zool. Soc. June 1870. 
This pretty little Batrachian, regarded by Dr. Günther as the type of a new genus, was 
taken in three localities in the wooded region of the west coast of Patagonia, where the 
climate and vegetation are alike Fuegian. The localities were as follows :—Eden Har- 
bour, March, 1868; Port Grappler, December 1869; Puerto Bueno, December 1869.
