Excerpt from Some Reptiles and Batrachians From Australasia Many of these specimens were taken, at various localities, by mem bers of Mr. Alexander Agassiz's Expeditions to the Great Barrier Reef of Australia and to the Fiji and Samoan Islands, and a large number were donated by Mr. E. A. C. Olive, who had made Cooktown, Queens land, the point of departure for his collecting excursions. Among them there are certain types that are particularly interesting, since they are closely allied to others, already described, from the southern and the western parts of Australia, and yet are sufficiently distinct to demand descriptions and names, on account of importance in considerations of distribution and derivation. While some of them appear to be new, all of them have close affinities with species more or less widely distributed in the region. In the collection there are thirty-four species, and these pertain to twenty-two genera of fourteen families.
