8 IL. G. ANDERSSON, DR. E. MJÖBERGS EXPEDITIONS TO AUSTRALIA 1910—1913. 9. BATRACHIANS. 
tern is represented only by a row of large, dark, black-edged spots on the anterior 
margin of the tibia. The fore limb shows a similar arrangement of the colours. 
I have only seen this species recorded from the northern parts of New South 
Wales, Clarence River. By this it is stated to live in the northern parts of Queens- 
land as well, and very probably it is to be found also in the intermediate parts of 
this large province. 
Limnodynastes dorsalis Gray. — One specimen from Atherton 1913, 49 mm 
between snout and vent. 
Limnodynastes ornatus Gray. — One specimen from Cedar Creek, April 1913; 
34 mm between snout and vent. 
A large, light, black-edged, trapezoidal spot behind the eyes; back and sides 
almost uniform dark olive brown without the dark bands and spots which ornate the 
specimens collected by Dr. MJÖBERG in Western Australia. The toes are webbed at 
the base only. 
Crinia acutirostris n. sp. 
(Fig. 2.) 
Two specimens from Malanda; caught in the jungles. 
Vomerine teeth none, tongue elongate, narrow, nicked behind, snout acute, 
flattened and prominent, considerably longer than the diameter of the orbit; canthus 
rostralis sharp, loreal region straight, not concave. Nostril equally distant from the 
eve and the tip of the snout. Interorbital space somewhat broader than the upper 
eyelid; tympanum more or less indistinct, the tips of the fingers rounded, not 
pointed; first finger half the length of the second. Toes not webbed, but broadly 
fringed, the tips slightly dilated. Subarticular tuberceles moderate, a small inner, no 
outer metatarsal tubercle. One of the specimens has a distinct, serrated tarsal fold, 
which, however, is nearly entirely absent in the other. If the length of the tibia is 
marked off from the knee forwards along the body, it reaches the anterior margin 
of the eye, or almost the nostril. A narrow, but very distinct glandular fold, running 
from the eye nearly to the groin, separates the back from the sides of the body. 
The skin is rather dissimilar in the two specimens, the one being rather smooth, 
the other more rough and spiny. In the latter the upper surfaces are finely granulate 
and provided with small pointed tubercles, some of which are larger and more prominent 
than the others. Of the most prominent ones some form an oblique row on each side 
of the vent, three are arranged in a triangle on the posterior part of the back, and 
finally a pair sits on the back behind the eyes. In this specimen also the upper 
parts of the hind limbs are densely prickled, the small points forming some rather
