32 LARS GABRIEL ANDERSSON, BATRACHIANS. 



To this species might also belong a small specimen (19 mm. in length) from 

 Juja farm on the steppe. It is of the same greyish white colour as the adult Raf- 

 fla symetrica, and according the notes of Professor Lönnberg the legs and feet were 

 light-red, though this colour has now disappareared. The dark lateral band is to 

 some extent maintained in front of and behind the eye. 



The specimen was found during the dry season ( 19 /i), hidden in a gun barrel. 



Rappia sp. — Plate 2, fig. 3. 



1 specimen, 23.5 mm. in length, caught together with the specimens of R. sy- 

 metrica on the steppe between Thika and Roiru rivers, April 3, 1911. 



It may be possible that this specimen as well, could be considered as a variety 

 of R. symetrica, most nearly allied to specimen a 2 . When the latter becomes lighter 

 than now the dark borders would, of course, remain as narrow lines and döts on the 

 greyish-white bottom just as is the case in this one. The arrangement of the mar- 

 kings in this specimen does not, however, speak for such a supposition. The dark 

 lines and döts are not arranged in the same regular pattern as in Rappia symetrica, 

 and perhaps it is more probable that it is another species living at the same loca- 

 lities as that one. Having only one specimen at my disposal I dåre not place it in 

 any certain species. In many of the series figured by Tornier specimens of about 

 the same colour are found, but it may probably belong to some species in his group II. 



Rappia concolor Hallow. 



Blgr., Cat. Batr. Sal., p. 124. 



One specimen, 31 mm. in length, from Mount Kenia about 2,500 m. above the 

 sea-level in waterfilled elephant-tracks, March 25, 1911. 



The specimen is uniform dark olive-brown above,' under parts and sides of body 

 yellowish white. The limit between the dark back and the light sides is sharply 

 defined and forms two regular curves, a large posterior and a smaller anterior, cor- 

 responding to the limbs pressed to the sides. When resting the limbs completely 

 cover the colour-less areas of the sides of the body. As the specimen rather well 

 agrees with the short description of R. concolor it may be reckoned as belonging to 

 this species. 



Cassina senegalensis D. & B. 



Blgr., Cat. Batr. Sal., ]>. 131. 



1 specimen from Pundamelia between Fort Hall and Blue Post. 



5 specimens from the Förest reserve at the Limuru-road near Nairobi April 9, 

 in waterpools on a grassy meadow. 



A t the first glance I found it stränge that these specimens appeared to have 

 the legs considerably longer than specimens from South Africa, kept in this Museum.
