Deducting from M. Sauvage's list three species which I consider merely synonyms, and allowing for four others which I believe to figure in my and M. Sauvage's lists under different names, I compute the total number of species known at present from this river to be fifty-one, a number which may be expected to be doubled by future investigations. The fish-fauna of the Nile consists of about ninety species.
The localities which will be mentioned in this report are the following:
- Warri, on the Forcados River (mouth of the Niger).
- Azuminé Creek, freshwater, running into the Opobo River, with a swift current, 25 miles from the sea (Niger delta region).
- Egwanga, on the Opobo River (Niger delta region).
- Corisco Island, off the Gaboon Coast.
- Lambarene[1] Ogowé River.
- Talagouga, about 180 miles from the mouth of the Ogowé.
- Kondo-Kondo, an island in the Alemba Rapids of the Ogowé.
REPTILES AND BATRACHIANS.
The Reptiles were collected at Lambarene, and belong to the following species:—
- Cycloderma Aubryi, D. B.—A young specimen well agreeing with one figured by Peters (MB. Berl. Akad. 1876, p. 117).
- ↑ =Lembarene Island, sometimes also spelt Lambarenie Island.
