THE 



AUSTRALIAN FROG. 



-Generic Character. 

 Body four-footed, naked, without tail. 



Specific Character. 



BROWN FROG, blueifli beneath j with the fides 

 fpeckled with ochre-colour, and the toes of 

 the fore-feet fpiny. 



This animal certainly cannot be numbered amongft 

 the moft beautiful of its genus : it is a fpecies, how- 

 ever, which has never before been defcribed, and is 

 more peculiarly interefting from the circumftance of 

 its being a native of the diftant region of New Hol- 

 land, which has added fo many zoological treafures 

 to the cabinets of natural hiftory. Its rarity muft 

 therefore apologize for its deformity.
