Australia does have a very diverse fauna of frogs of its own, however. <A HREF="http://frogs.org.au/frogs/state/Western_Australia/" REL="nofollow">Frogs of Australia</A> is a good website that may help you identify the frogs that you saw. Many Australian frogs are significantly endangered, though I don't known if any endangered species are found in the Perth area.Christopher Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075565866351612441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460788270738656369.post-80013215851276670482008-01-24T21:43:00.000+08:002008-01-24T21:43:00.000+08:00I have seen those frogs in Perth Western Australia...I have seen those frogs in Perth Western Australia.

It's been argued (Harris 2004)that these can be used to determine priority in cases like this, especially when the 'print date' of the paper version of a journal is often hard to confirm or be sure about. <BR/><BR/>You write awesome posts by the way.<BR/><BR/>Ref - -<BR/><BR/>Harris, J.

Since I submitted the manuscript in october 2005, I was really sorry to see we were scooped on the genus name, and we produced a junior synonym.
