sides a few large longitudinal spots, separated from the dark markings on the back 
by the light upper margin of the lateral gland. Limbs crossbanded. Under surfa-

By the large metatarsal tubercles the new species is allied to P. guentheri BLGR 
which also is recorded from the North-West of Australia, but it appears to be fully 
distinguished from that one by the tarsal tubercle, the longer hind limbs, the im- 
mense lumbar gland, the warts on the back which are of quite another shape, and 
by the colour.

3 specimens, several localities on St. George Range, N. W. Australia, Kimber-

GUNTHER'S type specimen was obtained from the interior of New South Wales 
(Castlereagh River), and according to FLETCHER this species is common in this co- 
lony >»on the plains>, but does not extend on to the coast. It is also recorded 
from the interior of Southern Queensland (Boulenger's catalogue), but was not col- 
leceted by the Horn-expedition, and I have not found it stated from other localities 
than those now mentioned. As shown above, this species seems, however, to be 
rather common in the interior of N. W. Australia as well. Dr. MJÖBERG obtained 
it at several places on St. George Range, and according to Mr. SÖDERBERG it was 
common at Mowla Downs after rain; during the drougth it was buried in the earth 
(see this paper p. 17). 
The strange colour of this toad, which has given it the names »Catholic Frog» 
and »Holy Cross Frog», is to be observed in these specimens as well, although the 
arrangement of the dark spots, forming the cross, is rather different from what is
