Chiroleptes inermis PEtErRsS. — Fig. 2. — 2 specimens: Hotspring, Kimberley, 
about 170 miles from the coast. Febr. 1911. E. Mjöberg. 
I have not seen this species recorded before from any other place than PE- 
TER'S type locality, Rockhampton, Queensland. 
As PETER'S diagnose is rather short, I think that a supplementary description 
and a figure may be of some value, especially as these specimens are very well 
preserved. 
Tongue subcircular, slightly nicked behind; vomerine teeth, as PETERS states, 
in two small groups between the inner front edges of the choanze; snout accuminate, 
rather prominent, 1'/2 as long as the diameter of the eye; nostril equally distant 
from the eye and the tip of the snout; interorbital space somewhat narrower than 
the upper eyelid. Tympanum very distinct, ”'/« the diameter of the eye. Fingers 
short, first longer than second (in the one specimen slightly, in the other much, longer). 
Toes short, ?/+ webbed. The following formula shows the number of joints free from 
3 5 = 2 5 : 
the web, counted from the first to the fifth toe: ENS = z. 2 Subarticular tu- 
bercles of the fingers and toes very distinct; a small round outer matatarsal tubercle 
and a somewhat larger oval inner one; a white fold runs as a low but distinct ridge 
along the inner side of the tarsus. If the dimension of the tibia is marked off from 
the knee forwards along the body, it reaches the centre of the eye. Upper parts of 
the body chagreened and provided with scattered longitudinal tubercles; belly and 
under surfaces of thighs minutely granular; remaining parts of limbs as well as the 
chin smooth. »Greyish brown above, with irregular dark spots; lips spotted, hinder 
side of thighs black- and whitespotted or marbled> (Bat. Batr. Sal.). Tibia irregu- 
larly crossbanded. Under surfaces pure white, except the chin which is marbled with 
brown (both the specimens are males). Male with a subgular vocal sac.

Heleioporus pictus PEtErRs. — 1 specimen from Mowla Downs near Gillgally 
Creek, about 70 miles south of Fitzroy River, in the interior of Kimberley Division, 
N. W. Australia. Dec. 1910. RB. Söderberg.
