Bd 34.! In this paper 48 species are recorded, 29 of these more or less minutely 
described from specimens, examined by the author. Beside Heliorana superciliaris, 
already before described by himself (Götting. Nachrichten 1867) under the name 
of Platyplectrum superciliare (according to BoULENGER'S catalogue identical with Lim- 
nodynastes dorsalis), he states as new Pseudophryne coriacea from Clarence River, Hyla 
schuttei (= H. adelaidensis) and Hyla dentata both from Sydney, and finally the mys- 
terious Pachybatrachus petersit, the habitat of which also is stated to be Sydney, but 
which according to BoULENGER possibly is synonymous with the Indian Cacopus 
systoma SCHNEID. Hyla gracilenta from Port Mackay N. E. Australia was described 
1869 by PEtERrRS (Mon. Ber. Berl. Ac.), which author two years later also reported 
Chiroleptes brevipes from »Port Bowen, Australia» (loc. cit. 1871). Soon afterwards 
GÖUNTHER distinguishes Notaden benetti and Chiroleptes platycephalus (Ann. Nat. Hist. 
1373) both from N. S. Wales, PEtErRs (Mon. Berl. Ac. 1874) added Hyla parvidens 
from Port Philipp, Victoria, and Hyla calliscelis from Adelaide. Chiroleptes brevipal- 
matus (N. E. Australia) was distinguished by GÖNTHER in Journ. Mus. Godeffr. 1876. 
By this all species which are recorded in BoULENGER's Catalogue of 1882 as known 
before that time are described. In this standard work BoULENGER gives descriptions 
of 50 Australian frogs, and among them one species, Pseudophryne guentheri from 
W. Australia, is recorded as new. 
Two years after the publication of this catalogue, DE Vis describes as new no 
less than seven batrachians from Queensland (Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales 1884, and 
Proc. Roy. Soc. Queensland 1884—1885), but, according to BoULENGER, only one of 
these can be considered as a good species, viz. Limnodynastes olivaceus. 
Year after year the following new species are described: 
Limnodynastes fletcheri and Crinia victoriana BOULENGER in Ann. Nat. Hist. (6) 
2, p. 142, 1888, the former from N. S. Wales, the latter from Victoria. 
Phamerotis fletchert new genus, near Cryptotis, and new species, described by 
GUNTHER 1890 from N. S. Wales (Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. W. (2), 5 p. 593). 
Crinia frogatti FLETCHER, P. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales (2) 6, p. 275, 1891 from 
Victoria. 
Pseudophryne dendyi and P. semimarmorata Lucas from Victoria in Proc. RB. 
Soc. Vict. (2) 4, 1891. 
Hyla chloris BoULENGER, N. S. Wales. Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales (2) 7, 
1892, p. 403. 
Philocryphus flavoguttatus n. g. n. sp. from the neighbourhood of Sydney, de- 
seribed by FLETCHER in Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales (2) 8 p. 233, 1893; allied to 
Heleioporus as well as to Chiroleptes. 
Crinia haswellit FLETCHER, N. S. Wales. Pr. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales (2) 8 p. 
522, 1893. 
! Two papers by G. KreFFt: On the vertebrated Animals of the lower Murray and Darling, their ha- 
bits, economy and geograplvical distributions in Trans. Phil. Soc. N.S. Wales 1862, and The Frogs of Australia 
in Monthly Notices of Papers and Proc. Roy. Soc. Tasmania 1865 have not been accessible to me. According to 
KEFERSTEIN We may find in them: »einige Mitheilungen äber die geographische Verbreitung, die Lebensweise und 
das Vorkommen der australischen Frösche>.
