526 Dr. A. Giinther on Reptiles and Batrachians 



var. C of Bocage. The head is dull whitish, with a tapering- 

 prolongation of the black ground-colour running along the 

 occipital suture to the vertical — similarly to what Bottger 

 describes of his E. Ressei, which I consider to be the young 

 of a variety of the same species. 



Shire Highlands and Uganda, alt. 3900-4500 feet. 



Pyxicephalus adspersus^ var. 



A half-grown specimen from the Shire Highlands agi-ees 

 with an adult obtained by Mr. Baxter in Ugogo in having 

 the back covered with prominent rounded or oblong tubercles. 

 These specimens therefore differ from typical specimens of 

 P. adsjyersus, as well as of P. edulis (Ptrs.), which are distin- 

 guished by characteristic longitudinal folds of the skin. On 

 the otlier hand, P. Maltzani (Blgr.) is said to have a remark- 

 ably smooth skin. 



Bufo reqnlaris^ Reuss. 

 Shird Highlands and Buddu. 



Rappia viridiflava^ Dum. Bibr. 

 Buddu and other parts of Uganda (alt. 3900-4500 feet). 



Rappia marmorata^ Rapp. 

 Mandala, Shir^ Highlands, 3500 feet. 



II. — Reptiles and Bateachians collected by 

 Mr. E. J. Baxter. 



Sepacontias modestus, Gthr. 

 Ugogo. 



Rhinocalamus dimidiatus, Gthr.* 

 Ugogo. 



ScaphiopMs albopunctatus, Ptrs. 

 Ugogo. 



* I may here mention that the allied genus Xenocalamus, Gthr., is 

 likewise an opisthoglyphous snake ; I have overlooked the hindmost 

 grooved tooth, which is hidden in the mucous membrane at some distance 

 behind the preceding teeth.
