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.
17.1. Breviceps gouldii (Gray).
17.2. Helioporus albo punctatus (Gray).
17.2.a. fore foot.
17.2.b. hind foot.
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.
