Limnodynastes ornatus Grav. — 2 specimens from Fitzroy-River in the in- 
terior of the Kimberley Division, N. W. Australia, Marz 1911, buried in the sand; 
32 and 38 mm.

in a spring, February 1911; 34 mm. 
1 specimen, Streets Station near Broome, Dampier Land, August 1911. 26 mm. 
E. Mjöberg. 
All specimens seem to be males. 
This species appears to be much more rare in East-Australia than the preceed- 
ing. It is, however, recorded from Queensland, and from New South Wales, in the 
latter colony found in the interior as well as in the coastal regions (FLETCHER). It 
is not known from Victoria, nor from Tasmania, nor from the whole of the southern 
and western coasts. On the northern coast it is recorded both from Queensland and 
South Australia (GRAY, BOULENGER in Cat. Batr.), and in the inner districts of this 
latter colony it is found by the Horn-expedion »from south of Charlotte Waters all 
up the Finke basin to the Alice Springs and to the west in the James Range». Its 
occurrence in the inland of North-West Australia, where it appears to be common, 
as these specimens prove, corresponds fully with records just quoted. This species 
is evidently a more pronounced inland-form than the preceding, the occurrence of 
which seems to be chiefly bound to the coast. It is, as pointed out by FLETCHER 
and SPENCER, a very good burrower which makes it able to endure the climate of 
Central-Australia, otherwise so very unsuitable for the batrachians. 
The colour, which in all the specimens is chiefly alike, agrees completely with 
the pattern stated by SPENCER (the Horn-expedition) as typical for the Central-Aus- 
tralian specimens, shown in his figures 3 and 4, plate 13, and it is principally the 
same in GÖNTHER'S specimen from Clarence River as well (1863). In all the spe- 
cimens the toes are webbed at the base only, the web reaching as distinct folds 
along the toes to the tips. Such a strong developement of the web as SPENCER 
states to be typical for somewhat larger specimens from Central-Australia is not at 
all to be seen in the present specimens. 
Cryptotis brevis GNTHR. — 2 specimens, Yandina at the foot of Blackal Range, 
S. E. Queensland, in the rain-forest, about 20 miles from Brisbane, "”/9 1911; males, 
39 and 29 mm. G 
2 specimens from Blackal Range, in the tropical rain-forest. S. E. Queens- 
land, "/9 1911; females, 32 and 28 mm. E. Mjöberg. 
This species seems to have a rather limited distribution; as far as I have been 
able to find out, it is known only from the coast of New South Wales with its centre 
at the lower Clarence River, and from the southernmost Queensland, where it was 
collected by Dr. MJÖBERG as well. 
The singular tooth-like processes in front of the lower jaw are in the larger 
male exceedingly long, 2,5 mm., in the smaller, however, considerably shorter.
