ercle; tongue small, oblong, roundish, and entire behind.

This genus is most nearly allied to Leiuperus of Messieurs Dumeril and
Bibron, with which it agrees in having no teeth on the palate, but it
differs from it in the tympanum being quite hid.

The internal nostrils are some distance in front of the cross-ridge on
which the palatine teeth are generally placed.

105. Uperoleia marmorata.

Black and green marbled, leaving a triangular greenish spot on the
forehead, beneath lead colour.

Inhabits Western Australia.

Dr. Tschudi has formed a genus under the name of Crinia, which appears by
his characters to be nearly related to the above; but Messieurs Dumeril
and Bibron (Erp. Gen. 8 416) observe that the specimens he described have
two very small groups of teeth on the vomer.

107. Breviceps gouldii, t. 1 f. 1.

Smooth, with a few scattered low tubercles; gray-brown (in spirits),
yellowish beneath.

Inhabits Western Australia.

This animal has all the external appearance and character, as far as they
are given in Messieurs Dumeril and Bibron's work, of the Breviceps
gibbosus of the Cape of Good Hope, except that it has not the yellow
dorsal band, and the back is scarcely to be designated as granular. It is
the second species of the genus, and only the second Toad found in
Australia.

APPENDIX F.

Notes on some Insects from King George's Sound, collected and presented
to the British Museum by CAPTAIN GEORGE GREY, by ADAM WHITE, Esquire,
British Museum, in a letter addressed to the author.

DEAR SIR,

Fabricius was the first, or among the earliest, Entomologists who
described the Annulose animals of New Holland, New Zealand, and the
Pacific Islands. At the time he published his Systema Entomologiae (1775)
these parts of the world had been visited by but few persons, and I
believe that all the species he described as coming from them he found in
the collection which was made by Sir Joseph Banks and Dr. Solander on
their well-known voyage with Captain Cook; that collection was presented
to the Linnean Society of London. Several of the original specimens have
been figured in the works of Olivier and Donovan, and it is perhaps
unnecessary to say that modern Entomologists often refer to these
specimens as the typical examples. As far as I am aware the next
important addition to the Entomology of New Holland was made by Dr.
Schreibers of Vienna,* which was followed by that of Mr. Marsham.** All
