Austrochaperina robusta Fry in Rec. Austr. Mus., Vol. 9, Sidney 1912, p. 89. — 
Four specimens from Malanda »in the jungles» 1913, three specimens from Carring- 
ton 1913, and one from Millaa-Millaa >»in the jungles> 1913. 
Before now this species has been found in North-eastern Queensland at Russel 
River and Bloofield River, and seems thus to be rather common in the tropical 
rain forests on the Cape York Peninsula. 
In most respects the specimens, brought home by Dr. MJÖBERG, correspond 
well with FRrRY's description and figures, and I do not hesitate to refer them to this 
species. They differ, however, in the following points: Between the eyes and the nostril 
there is a distinct groove; a well marked fold extends from the hind margin of the eye 
to the shoulder above the tympanum, which is more or less distinct. In none of the 
specimens the tibio-tarsal articulation does reach the eye, but even in one of the type 
specimens the hind limbs are said to be shorter than in the other, in which the tibio- 
tarsal articulation reaches the eye. The 35'th toe of all my specimens is conside- 
rably narrower than the others, narrower than shown in FRY's figure. The tongue 
is not »subeircular», a difference, however, of small value, because the tongue, as 
FrRY also remarks, varies considerably in specimens, preserved in spirit. In the largest 
of my specimens the tongue is long and elliptical, in others broad. FRY's figures 
show two distinct anterior palatine folds, which in my specimens are rather indistinct, 
a condition which is in accordance whith FRY's statement in the text, that they are 
»hardly distinguishable». Most of my specimens are uniform dark brown above — 
some more brown, some more black —, but all lack the light line, stated by FRY 
to be present in his uniformly coloured specimens. Two of the specimens from Car- 
rington are light brownish, densely dotted with dark, apparently coming near to 
FrRY's varietas B; the dots are, however, considerably smaller and more densely 
placed than in FRY's figure. In the same collection a third specimen of the same size 
is uniform darkbrown; thus, the varieties, recorded by FRY, are possibly to be con- 
sidered more as individual variations than as distinct forms. 
Mixophyes fasciolatus GUNTHER. — Two specimens from Malanda, N. Queens- 
land, Febr. 1913; 85 and 61 mm. between snout and vent. 
The two specimens differ slightly in some points from GÖNTHER's and KEFER- 
STEIN”s descriptions (Proc. Zool. Soc., 1864, p. 46, Arch. f. Naturgesch., 1868, p. 255). 
The skin is not »perfectly smooth>, all upper parts being provided with small densely 
set prickles; the feet are fully ”/+ webbed; on the outer side only two joints of the 4th 
toe are free from the web; if the hind limb is stretched forward, the tibio-tarsal 
articulation reaches a good deal beyond the tip of the snout. A dark angular spot 
is situated between the eyes, prolonged backwards as a broad band along the mesial 
line of the back. Under parts of foot and tarsus are chocolate-brown; the line of 
demarcation of this colour is on the outer side of the tarsus beautifully serrated. 
The lower and the concealed parts of the tibia and the thighs are in the smaller 
specimen marbled with chocolate-brown and white; in the larger this beautiful pat-
