line on the coccyx and the usual spots on the forearm and groin vere indistinct; 
on the hind side of the thigh there is an irregular light stripe as stated for Ps. 
bibroni. 
Thus, if these two specimens are Ps. bibronir, as indicated by the habitat, they 
appear to be intermediate forms between this and Ps. australis the one of them even 
with regard to the only real difference which is to be detected between these spe- 
cies, and the probability of their identity becomes still more conspicuous. If, on the 
other hand, the light-erowned specimen from Adelaide should be a Ps. australis and 
the specimen from Blackal Range a Ps. bibronii, the former species is not confined 
to the surroundings of Sydney, and I should have both »species> for comparison. 
In such a case I should be able to state that the differences between them, as far 
as the generally used characteristics are concerned, are too small to permit any spe- 
cific distinction. 
Pseudophryne mjöbergii n. sp. — Fig. 5, 6. — 2 specimens, male and female, 
Noonkambah, Kimberley Division, N. W. Australia, 160 miles from the coast in tem- 
porary pools. Dec. 1910. E. Mjöberg. 
Snout rounded, shorter than the orbital diameter; nostril much nearer the tip 
of the snout than the eye, interorbital space broader than the upper eye-lid. Tongue 
long and narrow, entire and free behind; no vomerine teeth. Fingers quite free, 
short, and narrow, obtusely pointed, first shorter than second; toes short, pointed, 
with a small rudiment of web at the base, not fringed but with a narrow ridge 
along their sides. Two very large metatarsal tubercles, the larger outer compressed, 
and obliquely transverse, the inner one also large but rather dissimilar in the two 
specimens, in one (the female) it is of the same shape and direction as the outer, 
the :two tubercles being separated only by a short interspace (fig. 6), in the other 
specimen (the male) it is more oval and placed along the inner margin of the foot; 
immediately below the heel there is a tarsal tubercle as well, small but distinct (fig. 6). 
If the dimension of the tibia is marked off from the knee forwards along the body 
it reaches just before the axilla, and the length of the whole hind limb considerably 
beyond the tip of the snout. Small scattered warts on the back, the belly more or 
less distincetly; the under surface of the thighs more coarsely granular. Behind the 
eye a large broad paratoid, extending to behind shoulder where it merges together 
with an enormous lumbar gland, which occupies the whole side from shoulder to 
groin, but a narrow and shallow groove separates the two swellings from each other ; 
as a rule the hindmost part of the lumbar gland is separated from the anterior 
main part by a narrow groove, and by this a pair of oval glands are formed on the 
sides in front of the vent. There is no gland on the hind side of the thighs. 
The upper parts are light olive grey with regular dark markings, viz. a stripe 
from nose to eye along canthus rostralis, a narrow transverse band between the eyes, 
interrupted in the middle, behind the eyes a large x formed marking, and behind 
this two or three irregular large patches on the posterior part of the back; on the
