certainly a breeding-season character. As already indicated, though 

 the throats (in alcohol) are usually creamy white at times they may 

 be spotted with brown and also with pure white. 



Measurements. — Owing to my inability in discovering any definite 

 method of distinguishing the sex of each specimen apart from dis- 

 section it seems of little use measuring so large a series. Fifty which 

 were measured range from 16 to 24 mm.; the egg-bearing females 

 undoubtedly attain to larger dimensions than the males; it might 

 be hazarded that males probably measure from 17 to 20 and females 

 from 21 to 24 mm. 



Breeding. — Females distended with ova occur in every series so 

 that we can definitely say that breeding is in progress during Sep- 

 tember and October; probably the season is a lengthy one. 



Diet. — Apart from indeterminate insect remains the stomachs of 10 

 frogs examined held (1) two weevils; (2) beetles; (3) beetle, hemiptera, 

 both adult and larvae, crane fly, caterpillar; (4) beetle, heteropteran, 

 diptera, husk of grass seed; (5) two beetles, larval bug, drosilidlike 

 dipteron, winged ant; (6) large beetle larva, muscid fly; (7) cater- 

 pillar; (8) caterpillar, ants; (9) hemipteron; (10) long gauzy wings 

 (? neuropteran).

This 19-mm. Irog almost certainly came from the Uluguru Moun- 

 tains, which is the headquarters ot the Wakami tribe, Ukami merely 

 signifying the country of the Wakami. The variations of this species 

 have recently been discussed at length. (Barbour and Loveridge, 

 1928.)

The series consists of a male, two adult females, and two immature 

 individuals. The male measures 22 mm., the adulr females 27 mm., 

 and the young from 18 to 21 mm. The tibio-tarsal articulation of 

 the adpressed hind limb reaches to the eye (male and one young), to 

 the nostril, or between eye and nostril.
