In localities near the boundary of the distribution area of fuscigula 
this species may sometimes be taken along with fuscigula. Father A. 
Hanisch, a few months ago, sent us a single specimen each of angolensis 
and fuscigula which were taken in the same pond at Ongeluk's Nek near 
Matatiele, Griqualand East. The two species were also taken together 
at Modder River in October, 1912.

Tt lives in grassy places and apparently takes to water only for breed- 
ing purposes. The metamorphosis is probably not prolonged, for near 
Kalk Bay at the end of December, when frogs of all sizes were abundant 
on the hillsides, no tadpoles were to be seen.

Rana euddi BouL, ?sp., P.Z.S., 1907, 480. Eldorado (O. A. Kidwell). 
The single example, a female, agrees very closely in characteristic 
ornamentation and size with rudcli as described and figured by Mr. 
Boulenger. It differs in that the digits are a little longer, the feet are half- 
webbed, the snout is rather pointed and distinctly projecting, and the 
tarsometatarsal articulation appreciably surpasses the tip of the snout. 
The Eldorado species may prove to be the same as the Angola form 
ornatissima Boc, but whether ornatissima and ruddi are specifically 
distinct from ornata Pet. seems to us doubtful. 
The specimen does not agree with the figure given by Bocage 
(Herpetologie d' Angola) for his ornatissima with regard to the pattern 
of its dorsal surface, in that respect being identical with ruddi.
