PAPERS READ. CONTRIBUTIONS TO A MORE EXACT KNOWLEDGE OF THE GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF AUSTRALIAN BATRACHIA. No. iii. By J. J. Fletcher. This third small contribution records the collections which have coine to hand since June last. The subject is not by any means exhausted ; but as there is no immediate prospect of further supplies of material, the results so far gained may presently be briefly reviewed ; and with this, for the time being, one must be coutent. (ii.) The inland division of N.S. W. (West of the Dividing Range). (r) From Lucknow, near Orange (collected by Mr. W. W. Froggatt). Limnodynastes tasmaniensis Hyperolia marmorata dorsalis Pseudophryne bihronii Hyla ewingii, vslv. B. Only one species in this collection calls for comment, namely II. efvingii, var. B (eleven specimens), characterised, as to most of the specimens, by the presence of even more spots and markings on the flanks and elsewhere than in var. A (calliscelis) and than I have ever previously seen. This is the first time, too, that the species has occurred in any of the collections from the inland division, and it is probably to be regarded as a straggler from the coast. Further references to these specimens will be found below. (s) From Wellington Caves (collected by Mr. W. W. Froggatt). Limnodynastes tasmaniensis Fsetidophryne bihronii
