Abstract

The following report deals with certain reptiles, batrachians, fishes, and insects forwarded for identification to the Australian Museum by Sir William Macgregor, K.C.M.G., Administrator of British New Guinea, who had caused them to be collected in the St. Joseph's River District; this river flows into the Papuan Gulf opposite to Yule Island, about eighty miles to the north-west of Port Moresby, and is said to take its rise in the range which culminates to the eastward in Mount Yule.
