By A. GiJNTHER. 



(Plates I., II.) 



A few Reptiles only were collected, viz. Liodira gravenhorstii at 

 Talcahuano, and Liolcemus nigromaculatus at Coquimbo, also a 

 specimen of Tachymenis chilenis from the latter locality. 



The Batrachians proved to include more novelties : — 



1. Nannophryne variegata (Gthr. Proc. Zool. Soc. 1870, 

 p. 401, pi. 30) was collected in several examples on the coast of 

 Trinidad Channel and at Puerto Bueno. 



2. Cystignathus macrodactylus, sp. n. 



Allied to C. bibronii from the Chonos archipelago, but with the 

 vomerine teeth in two short straight transverse lines immediately 

 behind the choanse. Head broad and depressed, with shelving sides 

 and obtusely rounded snout. Eyes of moderate size, equal to their 

 distance from the nostril. Tympanum small, scarcely half the size 

 of the eye. Skin of the upper parts smooth, or but little tubercular. 

 The three outer fingers are long, and, like the toes, truncated at the 

 tip ; the third is the longest, the fourth longer than the second, 

 which, again, is considerably longer than the first. Two small meta- 

 tarsal tubercles ; the fifth toe scarcely longer than the third. Upper 

 and lateral parts mottled with brown ; lower parts whitish, in the 

 male with a few brown spots on the sides of the abdomen. Male 

 with a large vocal sac, which extends to the sternal region.
