REPTILES AND AMPHIBIANS FROM THE CENTRAL 
AFRICAN LAKE REGION 
By T. Barsour AND A. LOVERIDGE 
The Harvard African Expedition of 1927, under the leadership of Professor 
R. P. Strong secured a number of reptiles and amphibians in the mountains 
to the north of Lake Kivu and in the surrounding region. These form the 
subject of the present notes, where B.C. is employed as an abbreviation for 
Belgian Congo. A new species of Arthroleptis from Mt. Vissoke, recently de- 
scribed from this collection, has the description repeated here.
