I have carefully compared the specimens brought home by 

 Dr. Ansorge with one from Beiiguella received from Prof. 

 Barboza du Bocage and with others from various parts of 

 South Africa, with the result that I cannot regard X. Petersii, 

 Bocage, as more than a small race of X. Icevis. 



2. Bufo regularis, Reuss. 



Duque de Bragancja, Pungo Andongo, Locomi, Oanhoca, 

 Marimba, between Beiiguella and Bihd. 



Semba Acendu. 



4. Rana ornatissima, Bocage. 



Bingondo in Bihe. Caught in the forest in October. 



In the breeding male a brown callous pad is present on 

 the inner side of the forearm at the base of the second and 

 third fingers; similar callosities cover the upper surface of 

 the three inner fingers. In all other characters this fine frog 

 agrees with R. Budgetti as described by me in 1903, and I 

 must therefore now regard the Gambia specimens as repre- 

 senting merely a colour-variety of the species previously 

 described by Barboza du Bocage. R. moeruensis, Blgr., is 

 also very closely allied to R. ornatissima, but differs in the 

 inner finger extending beyond the second. 



5. Rana mascareniensis, D. & B. 

 Between Benguella and Bihe. 



6. Rana Ansorgii, sp. n. (PI. IV. fig. 1.) 



Vomerine teeth in two short transverse series close to the 

 inner front edges of the choanio. Head once and a half
