Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London for 1936, no. 9 + no. 10. From a zoological standpoint the Mamfe area is of particular interest because it lies outside the true rainforest yet its amphibian fauna is essentially that of a rainforest. Only 6 of the 49 species covered lie outside the rainforest province; the remaining 43 species are rainforest species that share many commonalities with other species found elsewhere in West Africa and in Central Africa and East Africa. No ownership marks. A tight and clean copy in very good condition..
