 Rana angolensis BOCAQE. BOULENGER Cat. Batr. Sal. p. 50. 



A great number (59) of young frogs and tadpoles from a rivulet with a pond 

 having a vegetation of Nymphcea, Potamogeton etc., the Kibonoto steppe, "Vo 1905. 



Some tadpoles and 6 young frogs, Kibonoto, Dec. 1905. 



The young frogs have aquired the characteristic spots on the back already 

 before they have lost the last stump of the tail. The tadpoles have on their tails 

 large round spots of a brownish black colour on light ground. 



Two young but fully metamorphosed frogs from the upper rain-forest ('Regen- 

 wald) of the Meru mountain, 3,0003,500 m. caught the 29 /i 1906 belong to this 

 species but I am uncertain concerning some tadpoles from the same locality as they 

 are not coloured as those mentioned above from Kibonoto. 



1 young frog and some tadpoles from a rivulet, tributary to the river Sanya, 

 Kibonoto, 28 / 2 1606. 



1 large specimen from Fugga river, Kibonoto, 7 .' 1905. This specimen was caught 

 with a net while it was sitting on the bottom in a depth of Va in. and the water 

 was cold as in a spring. In consequence of its age and size, about 9 cm. from snout 

 to vent, the colour pattern of this specimen is less defined and it looks almost uni- 

 formly brown above with indistinct light marmoration, especially on the sides. 



This frog has been collected at Kilimandjaro before, even above the forest re- 

 gion by VOLKENS.
