Abstract

The composition of the amphibian fauna of southern Africa is at present quite well known. A great deal of information on the biology of South African toads and frogs has also been accumulated. Nevertheless, the coverage has been rather unequal. Much information has been collected on amphibians inhabiting the western Cape Province and the lowlands in Natal and Transkei, very little has been done on the biology of frogs in the Transvaal, and in particular in the Transvaal highveld. As the ecological conditions on the highveld are quite distinct from those in the south and in the eastern lowlands, it seems desirable to present some data on amphibian life in the Transvaal.
