REPTILES AND AMPHIBIANS FROM LAKE REGION 198 
measurement given by Ahl for his paratype series of two hundred and fifteen 
specimens from the rain forest to the northwest of Tanganyika, the actual local- 
ities being Rugege and Bugoie Forest. A character of great interest which at 
once shows its relation to P. krefftii is the spinose character of the soles of the 
feet in both sexes whereas in P. krefftii only the males show such spinosities. 
A female, 32 mm. long, shows developing ova while the smallest frog, 20 mm. 
long, has a tail stump 11 mm. in length. The stomach of the only specimen 
examined held homopterous insects. 
Phrynobatrachus graueri (Nieden) 
5 (M.C.Z. 14676-80) Lulenga, B.C. 1850 meters. 
7 (M.C.Z. 14681-87) Rueru, B.C. 8500 feet. 
4 (M.C.Z. 14688-91) Burunga, B.C. 1800 meters. 
2 (M.C.Z. 14692-93) S.W. foot of Mt. Mikeno, B.C. 7250 feet. 
1 (M.C.Z. 146-94) Kivu, Mt. Mikeno. 
1 (M.C.Z. 14695) Behungi Escarpment, Uganda, 7900 feet. 
The series ranges from 12-30 mm. long. Nieden based his description on 
a single frog 22 mm. in length from Rugege Forest so that our specimens, as 
also our P. versicolor are almost topotypes. For purposes of comparison we 
have received a 22 mm. example from the British Museum which comes from 
the Yala River district of Kenya Colony. 
One of the largest frogs in the present series is a female distended with 
eges to its greatest capacity, its greatest width being equal to half its length. 
In this specimen, as well as the next two largest, which are both males, the 
tibio-tarsal articulation of the adpressed hind limb reaches only to the eye, 
while in the rest of the series it reaches to the tip of the snout or beyond. 
A distinctive feature of this species, though not mentioned in the original 
description, is the pair of plicae converging from the orbits and widening again 
on the back, a character which it shares with P. acridoides as well as other 
species. 
The stomachs of two males held a staphylinid beetle, cercopid bug, ants’ 
heads and the remains of several small grasshoppers. 

Arthroleptis adolfi-friederici Nieden 
1 (M.C.Z. 14696) Kibati, B.C. 6500 feet. 
A female, 38 mm. in length, with undeveloped ovules. A very young centi- 
pede, a millipede, beetle larvae of two species, and a weevil were indentifiable 
among the insect remains in its stomach. 
Arthroleptis bequaerti Barbour and Loveridge. 
Arthroleptis bequaerti Barbour and Loveridge, 1929, Proce. New. Eng. Zodl. Club., XI, pp. 25-26. 
25 (M.C.Z. 14751-75) Mt. Vissoke, B.C. 8-9,000 feet. 
Type. No. 14751, Museum of Comparative Zodélogy, an adult female from a swamp on Mt. 
Vissoke, Belgian Congo, 8-9,000 feet, collected by Dr. J. Derscheid for Dr. J. Bequaert. 
Paratypes. The rest of the series mentioned above together with a single specimen in the Congo 
Museum.
