This work contains descriptions oft, or reference to, all the species 
introduced into zoological literature. 800 species, more than two-thirds 
of which have been examined by the author, are considered properly 
established.. The British Museum collection contains 522 species, repre- 
sented by 4692 specimens ; when the x first edition of the work was 
published (in 1858), the two numbers amounted to 214 and 1691 respec- 
tively. The following classification, derived from that of Cope, but 
modified in many respects, is adopted : — 
• Suborder I. — Phaneroglossa. 
Series a. Firmisternia. 
4 families : Ranidce , Dendrobatidce , Engystomatidce, Dyscophidce. 
Series B. Arcifera. 
8 families: Cystignathidce , Dendrophryniscidce , Bufonidce, Hylidce, 
Pelobatidce , Discoglossidai , Amphignathodontidcu , Hemiphractidce.
