Mochudi (Kimberley Museum) ; it reaches a length of 50 mm. and differs

Bufo . — It is evident that Dr. Werner’s conception of angusticeps 
is not the same as is entertained by Mr. Boulenger for one of Werner’s 
specimens thus labelled is described as having the first finger longer than 
the second, whereas according to Boulenger, this is the distinguishing 
character of regularis. The following records require investigation : 
regularis and granti both from Smithfield, angusticeps from Natal and 
vertebralis from Kentani (Boulenger). All previously published records 
go to show that angusticeps belongs specially to western Cape Province ; 
vertebralis is more widely distributed than was supposed for I have had 
specimens from Victoria West (P. D. Morris), and Bro. J. H. Power records 
it from Madibi.
