THE HAMATOZOA or AUSTRALIAN BATRACHIANS,

[Read before the Royal Society of N. S. Wales, November 4, 1914. } 
SINCE the publication in 1910 by Dr. Harvey Johnston and 
myself in the Journal and Proceedings of the Royal Society 
of New South Wales of a paper dealing with the Heematozoa 
of our Australian Batrachians, I have continued an examin- 
ation of the blood of such specimens as have come my way, 
and this has been very materially supplemented by blood- 
films kindly forwarded by Dr. T. L. Bancroft of Hidsvold, 
Queensland. Blood-films from 54 individuals, comprising 
18 species, have been examined. In only two of these 
were heematozoa detected, one being a film from Hyla 
cerulea containing Heemogregarina (Lankesterella) hyloe 
(previously described by us) forwarded by Dr. Bancroft, 
and the other being from Limnodynastes tasmaniensis 
caught on the Murray River, near Morgan, in South 
Australia, which contained trypanosomes. We have also 
previously described trypanosomes from this species at 
Hidsvold in Queensland. 
It is of interest to note that in only one species of frog, 
Hyla coerulea, have we so far found heemogregarines, and 
that these may be found in this batrachian at such remotely 
separated places as Sydney and Hidsvold. Further, in only 
two species of frogs, Limnodynastes tasmaniensis and L. 
ornatus ?, both nearly related, have trypanosomes been 
seen by us, and these again at such sundered places as 
Hidsvold in Queensland and near Morgan on the Murray
