SUNKLANDS OF PORT PHILLIP BAY AND BASS STRAIT 
111 
Peripatus insignis is found in Victoria and Tasmania beneath 
the bark of old stumps, in rock crevices, and under stones. 
Two of the freshwater fishes Gadopsis marmoratus Rich., the 
River Blackfish, and Galaxias attenuatus Jenys, the Jollytail, 
have a distribution that suggests a migration in streams from the 
mainland and Tasmania, that joined a trunk stream emptying 
into the Southern Ocean — ^the Tamar Major River. The first 
species is confined to the rivers from the mainland and from 
northern Tasmania emptying into Bass Strait ; the second in the 
streams of King Island, southern Victoria and Tasmania. It is 
an interesting fact that the Jollytail is also found in New Zealand, 
Chatham Island, the Falkland Islands, and Chili. 
The frogs Lymnodynastes peronii (I), and B.), L. tasmanensis, 
Gunth., Hyla peronii (Bibron), H. aiirea (Less), and H. ewingii 
(B. and B.) are all common to Victoria and Tasmania, and H. 
aiirea and Lymnodynastes iieronii to King Island.
