Title: Annals of the Cape Provincial Museums. Volume 13. Part 1. Notes on the Elevation of Rana Fasciata Montana Fitzsimons, 1946 to Specific Rank, and on the Identity of Rana Fasciata Sensu Burchell, 1824 ( Anura: Ranidae).
Description: Cape Provincial Museum, Albany Museum, Grahamstown, Natural History. Volume 13. Part 1. 8th May 1979. Stapled wraps, p.1-p.30. illustrated colour & b/w plates, 184mm wide x 240mm high. New unread copy. The South African frog described from the Attakwa Mountains in 1946 as Rana Fasciata Montana is here raised to specific rank. Distinct call and morphological differences separate Rana Montana stat.nov. unequivocally from Rana Fasciata Smith. Sympatry of the two species at three localities confirms the rank separation. It is pointed out that the name Rana Fasicat Burchell, now suppressed, is probably referable to Rana Fuscigula Dumeril and Bibron and not to Rana Grayii as previously suggested.
