collection of Batrachians, brought home by Dr. ERIK MJÖBERG from his second 
Ända expedition to Australia (Northern Queensland) has been acquired by 
the R. Museum of Natural History, Stockholm, and it has kindly been delivered to 
me for determination by the keeper of the vertebrate department of this museum, 
Professor E. LÖNNBERG. ÅS this expedition mainly had for object an exploration of 
the fauna of the terrestrial invertebrates of the rain-forests of Queensland, it was 
not to be expected, that the collection of Batrachians should be very large; it con- 
tains, however, 22 species, represented by 68 specimens, and it is very interesting 
all the same. As far as I can see, no less than six species are undescribed, viz. 
three Hylae, one Pseudophryne, one Crinia, and one Phrynixalus, the latter being 
the second genus of the family HEngystomatidae, hitherto found in Australia. The 
first genus of this family, recorded from the Australien continent, Åustrochaperina 
Fry 1912, is represented as well and by several specimens. In the whole the collec- 
tion illustrates distincetly the great resemblance that exists between the northern part 
of Queensland and New Guinea regarding the fauna of the batrachians. 
Of the localities mentioned the following fall within the limits of the rain- 
forests: Mount Tambourine in Southern Queensland, and Malanda, Carrington, Ather- 
ton, Millaa-Millaa, Cedar Creek and Tully River, all situated on the large Atherton- 
Herberton tableland in Northern Queensland. The following are from the open forest- 
country: Colosseum in Southern Queensland, Chillagoe, not far from Cairns district, 
and Alice River in the interior of Cape York Peninsula.
