Fam. Asterophrydidas. 
Xenophrys is a new genus described by Gunther, Kept. Brit. Ind. p. 414, 
allied to Megalophrys, but having free toes, as the other genera of this family. 
The upper eyelid is well developed, broad, with a sharp, prominent edge, but 
not prolonged into appendages. — X. monticola, pi. 26. fig. H, from the Hima- 
layas. 
Gunther, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1864, p. 47, states that CamarioUus (Peters) is 
identical with Pterophrymis (Liitken), and doubts the propriety of separating 
the latter from Crinia (Tschudi) ; he describes as new : Pteroplirynus ajffinis, 
p. 47, pi. 7. fig. 2, from Western Australia \ Pterophryims tasmanieiisis, p. 48, 
fig. 8 ; and PteropTirynus Imvis^ p. 48, fig. 4, from Van Diemen’s Land. 
Fam. UpEROLiiDiE. 
According to the characters known, a genus established by Steindachner, 
Verhand. zool. hot. Gesellsch. Wien, 1864, p. 279, would enter this family; 
Nattereria : habit ranoid ; tongue slightly emarginate ; vomerine teeth 
none. N. lateristriga, taf. 14. fig. 2, from Brazil. 
Fam. BoMBINATORIDiE. 
Dr. Steindachner defines the characters of Telmatohim (Wiegm.), and de- 
scribes a new species, T. brasiliemis : Verb. zool. hot. Gesellsch. Wien, 1864, 
p. 282, taf. 16. fig. 3. 
Fam. BRACHYCEPHALiDiE. Dp. Steindaclmer states that he 
has recognized the identity oi KaJcophrynus (Steind.) wit\iHemisus 
(Gthr.), and that the reason why he did not do so from the 
first, lies in the erroneous description of the latter genus. The 
Recorder has reexamined Hemisus, and found that the original 
diagnosis given hy him is correct, — the extremities of the sacral 
apophyses being 2 lines broad in a specimen 2| inches long ; 
the tongue, when at rest, is elliptical. 
Fam. lllIINODERMATIDiE. 
The name of TJperodon (D. & B.) being preoccupied, has been changed into 
Cacopus by Gunther, Kept. Brit. Ind. p. 415. 
Cacopm glohulosus is a new species from Russelconda. Gunther, 1. c. p. 416, 
pi. 26. fig. K. 
Copea, g. n., Steindachner, Verhand. zool. hot. Gesellsch. Wien, 1864, 
p. 286, said to be closely allied to Atelopus (D. & B.), but with two large 
tubercles on the metatarsus. C. fulva, taf. 17. fig. 5, from Brazil. 
Fam. ENGYSTOMATIDiE. 
Dr. Steindachner figures Engystoma ovale (Schneid.) and Engystoma 
microps (D. & B.) : Verhand. zool. bot. Gesellsch. Wien, 1864, p. 285, taf. 18. 
fig. 4, and taf. 15. fig. 3. 
Fam. Bufonid^. 
Bufo vulgaris is not very common in the Upper Engadin, and does not 
attain to the same large size as in the lowlands. Fatio, in Bibl. Univ. 1864, 
p. 273.
