Diplopelma (Engystoma) berdmorai (Blytli) is described as Callula natatrix, 
sp. n.,byJVIr. Cope, Joui*n. Ac. Nat. Sc. Philad. vi. p. 192. — The genus Cal- 
luluf as defined by Mr. Cope, embraces species both aquatic and terrestrial ! 
, JJiplopelma dkcifemm, sp. n., Peters, 1. c. p. 36, Java. 
-Hyj90^ac/«^s,g.n,, Keferstein, Getting. Nachricht. 1867, p. 351, distinguished 
from Engy&toma by having a clavicle, and the metatarsus provided with a 
large spur-like tubercle interiorly, and a smaller flat one exteriorly. — Hypo- 
pachus seehachiij sp. n., p. 362, from Costa Rica. 
, Admomera^ g. n., Steindachner, Novara, Amph. p. 37. Toes free; tongue 
narrow, not notched ; a tympanum ; a large flat gland in the loin ; teeth none ; 
apophyses of sacral vertebra dilated, triangular. — Adenomera marmoratUy 
sp. n., Steindachner, 1. c. p. 37, taf. 3. figs. 5-8, from Brazil. The name was 
formed by Dr. P’itzinger. 
Chelydobatrachus gouldii. Prof. Peters states that Myobatrachus is founded 
on an example of this species. Monatsber. Ak. Wiss. Berl. 1867, p. 37.

Eufo, Dr. Steindachner (Novara, Amphib. pp. 39-47) describes, beside 
fourteen of the common species of tliis genus, one as new, viz. Biifo spinipes 
from the Nicobars (p. 43, tab. 6. figs. 6, 7). [This is identical with Btifo 
gymnauchen, Blkr.] He thinks that B. rubropunctata (Gay) is the young of 
B. chilensis, and that B. galeatus(Qihx.') is identical with B, celebensis (Schleg.). 
Dr. Hensel (Wiegm. Arch. 1867, pp. 141-149) describes six species, which 
he determines as B. d'orbignyi (D. & B.), B. agua, B. arenarum, sp. n., p. 143, 
from Rio Grande do Sul, B. dorsalis (? Spix), B, ornatus (Spix), and B. 
melanotis (D. & B. P). He says that, to determine the species correctly, it 
will be necessary to examine the typical examples.

Keferstein, Getting. Nachricht. 1867, pp. 352, 353.

Hylina. 
Hylorana. Bana cceruleopunctata (Steind.) proves to belong to this 
genus, and to be closely allied to II. malabarica. Steindachner, Novara, Am-

the fingers webbed, and the first finger opposed to the others. L. bimaculata,

Crossodactylus. Dr. Hensel states that Tarsopterus (Reinh. & Liitk.) is 
identical with this genus. Wiegm. Arch. 1867, p. 149.
