by day and emerging at night to feed. The breeding call of the male can 
be heard for several hundred yards, and reminds one of the lowing of a 
cow. The tadpoles develop rather slowly, but reach no great size : about 
72 mm. seems to be the normal length of a full-sized tadpole. The tail is 
shorter but deeper than that of the fuscigula tadpole at Kimberley, the 
tail muscles being less developed and the myomeres fewer in number. 
They do not normally pass the winter in the tadpole stage. The 
young are ornamented dorsally with three bright yellow longitudinal 
streaks.

The breeding habits of this species are likely to prove interesting. 
According to information received from Mr. F. Streeter, of Hectorspruit, 
the course of events is much the same as in G. rufescens (see Gadow in 
" Camb. Nat. Hist. Amphibia and Eeptiles " p. 244), but the female seems 
to exercise parental solicitude over her developing young : the case requires 
investigation.

In the present chaotic condition of the systematics of this genus, the 
above identification is only offered as a probability. The specimen was
