REPORT OX THE BATRACHIAXS 

 COLLECTED BY TUE LATE L. FEA LV WEST AFRICA 

 BY G. A. BOULEXGER, F. R. S. 



Plates I, II. 



The very extensive collection of Batrachians, consisting of 640 

 specimens in a most perfect state of preservation , made hj the 

 lamented L. Fea during his five years' travels in West Africa (^) 

 has been entrusted to me for study by the Director of the Genoa 

 Museum. Like all the collections made by this gifted and enthu- 

 siastic naturalist, this has proved to be one of great interest, 

 comprising as it does representatives of no less than dO species, 

 7 of which are here described as new, one being made the type 

 of a new genus. 



It has hitherto been my privilege to describe all the herpeto- 

 logical discoveries of the distinguished man whose early death 

 is so deplorable. I again express my gratitude to Marquis G. 

 Doria and Dr. R. Gestro at being able to add my own to the 

 nmnerous contributions which will be the fruits of his last exer- 

 tions and a fitting memorial to a life entirely devoted to the 

 advance of zoology.
