EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a preserved Leiopelma hamiltoni, also known as Hamilton's Frog, one of the rarest and most elusive amphibians in the world. Hailing from the North Island of New Zealand, this tiny frog is a precious treasure in the annals of natural history. Donated to the Dominion Museum in 1922, this small, lissamphibian specimen is a testament to the rich biodiversity of Australasia's unique amphibian fauna. With its distinctive, round, flat body and webbed feet, the Leiopelma hamiltoni is a member of the Leiopelmatidae family, which is part of the ancient order Lissamphibia, and the suborder Anura. The Leiopelma hamiltoni is believed to have lived in the forests of the North Island, and due to its small size and elusive nature, it has remained one of the least-known frog species in the world. This spirit jar, which houses the preserved specimen, serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying rare and endangered species. As an archaeobatrachian, the Hamilton's Frog represents a link to the earliest stages of frog evolution, making it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history treasures. The Leiopelma hamiltoni is a true marvel of the natural world, and its preservation in this jar allows future generations to appreciate its unique features and significance in the history of amphibian evolution.
