2. Limnodynastes oUvaceus [l. c. p. Q&). A good species. 



3. Hyla Rothii [l. c. p. 66) = H. Peronii^ Bibr. 



Of these three species, type specimens are now in the 

 Natural-History Museum, through the kindness of H. 

 Ling Roth, Esq. 



4. (Edura Tryoni (Proc. R. Soc Queensl. i. p. 54, 1884) = 



(E. ocellata, Bouleng. Cat. Liz. i. p. lOo, ph ix. (1885). 

 Although very imperfect the description is recognizable, 

 and as the name T?yoni \i3iS priority that of ocellata must 

 be cancelled. 



5. A'mphibolurushrancJital'is{Lc.'p.55) = PJiysigyiathus Lesu- 



euriiy Gray (figured in Dum. & Bibr. Erp. Gen. pi. xl. 

 and in McCoy's Prodr. Zool. Vict. dec. ix. pi. ixxxi.). 



6. Macrops (g. n., a name already applied to three different 



genera in zoology) nuchalis (Z. c. p. 97) = Amphibolurus 

 reticulatus (Gray). 



7. Diporophora nucJialts [l. c. "p- QS) = D . austrah's {Steind.) . 



8. Diporophora ornata [1. c. p. 99) = D. australis. 



9. Diporophora brevicauda {I. c. p. 99) = D. bilineata, 



Gray. 



10. Diporophora pentalineata [!] {J.c. p. 99) = D. hilineata. 



11. Hyla fenestrata {I.e. p. 128) = Mixophyes fasciolatus^ 



Gthr. (figured in P. Z. S. 1864, pi. vii.). 



12. Hyla irrorata {I. c. p. 128). Should be compared with 



H. iiifratceniataj Gthr. 



13. Hyla nohilis [I. c. p. 129) = Rana papua^ Lesson. 



14. Hyla peninsulce {I. c. p. 129) = //. nasuta (Gray). 



15. (Edura fracticolor {I. c. p. 160). Apparently a distinct 



species, if referred to the correct genus. 



I take this opportunity of changing the name ^lurosaurus^ 

 which I employed for a genus of Geckos (Cat. Liz. i. 1885), 

 but which is preoccupied by a Theriodont {jElurosaurus^ 

 Owen, 1881), to that of u3Eluroscalabotes. I am obliged to 

 my colleague Mr. Smith Woodward for calling my attention 

 to this matter.
