Limnodynastes dorsal is (Gray) 

 — Limnodynastes (Platyplectrum) dumerilii (Peters) = Platyplectrum superciliare (Keferstein) 



= Heliorana superciliaris (Keferstein). 



This frog ought to be referred to Platyplectrum* 



Limnodynastes ornatus (Gray). 

 Closely allied to Platyplectrum marmoratum, and to be referred to the same genns. 



Chiroleptes brevipalmatus. 



V omerine teeth in two straiglit transverse series between the choanae. Skin indistinctly glandulär, 

 nearly smooth. Fingers long, tapering; toes short, with a rudimentary web. Brownisli-olive above, with 

 a white vertebral line, and with symmetrica! brown markings, one of which is a large interocular spot. 

 A brown streak along the canthns rostralis. The hinder part of the thigh uncolored. Lower parts whitish. 



Of this speeies I have seen three specimens: one in the British Museum, from Port Denison; and 

 two collected by Hr. Dämel at Gayndah and Peak Downs. The largest is 40 mm. long; hindleg 59 mm. 



Hyla fordii. 



Allied to H. phyMochroa , but with all the upper (colored) parts granulär, like the belly. Snout 

 short, broad, Avith the canthus rostralis angular. The vomerine teeth form two veiy small groups between 

 the choana?. Tympanum entirely covered by the skin. Tongue scarcely notched behind. Male with a 

 large uncolored pouch extending across the sternal region. Disks of the fingers and toes large. The 

 three outer fingers two-thirds webbed; the membrane between the toes extending to the disks. All the 

 upper parts which in a sitting posture are exposed to the light, are bright green; a white line along the 

 canthus rostralis, and another along the lower edge of the fore-arm and lower leg. Thigh color-less. 

 Lower parts white. 



Three examples from Kockhampton, purchased of a dealer with other Queensland Reptiles, have 

 been in the British Museum for some time. The largest is 40 mm. long; hind-leg 63 mm.
