are provided with vomerine teeth, several specimens in our col- 
lection, which, perhaps, are the Cystignathus georgianus of D. & B., 
and which can scarcely be generically separated from our Péero- 
phryni, have those teeth well developed. Tschudi has proposed the 
name of Crinia for the last-named species. 
PTEROPHRYNUS TASMANIENSIS. (PI, VII. fig. 3.) 
Very similar to Camariolius pictus, Peters; upper and lower parts 
nearly entirely smooth, with scarcely any trace of flat tubercles. Snout 
rounded in front, somewhat pointed, sloping downwards in a gentle 
curve from the nostrils. Eye of moderate size, rather longer than 
its distance from the nostril. Tongue narrow, ovate, entire behind ; 
vomerine teeth none. Toes fringed; tarsus without longitudinal 
fold ; metatarsus with two minute tubercles. The length of the 
body equals the distance between vent and metatarsal tubercles. 
Upper parts blackish brown, with a more or less distinct broad red- 
dish-olive band running from behind the eye towards the loin ; lower 
parts beautifully rose-coloured, largely marbled with black ; the pre- 
anal parts black.

PreropuryNus Levis. (Pl. VII. fig. 4.) 
Habit as in Pseudophryne; snout rather short and rounded, with 
the canthus rostralis obtuse. Eye considerably shorter than the 
snout. Upper and lower parts perfectly smooth. Tongue narrow, 
ovate, entire behind; vomerine teeth none. Tympanum very small, 
covered not only by the skin, but also by muscle. Toes not fringed, 
without subarticular tubercles; neither a tarsal fold nor metatarsal 
tubercles are present. The length of the body is not much less than 
that of the hind limb. Brownish olive ; small yellow spots are scat- 
tered over the upper parts ; numerous brown spots on the belly and 
on the lower side of the hind limb.

LiITORIA WILCOXII. 
Snout of moderate length, somewhat pointed in front, the distance 
between the front angles of the orbits being equal to that between 
the eye and the extremity of the snout. Canthus rostralis angular ; 
nostril much nearer to the end of the snout than to the eye. Tym-
