	abstract = {Mahenge Mountain is part of the Eastern Are Mountains in Tanzania. It is bordered by the Kilombero flood plain to the west and forms a continuous mountain block with the Mbarika to the south, lying close to the Udzungwa and Southern Highland Mountain blocks. The amphibian fauna of the forests of Mahenge Mountain has not been investigated until recent fieldwork carried out in the Sali Forest Reserve that has revealed a diverse forest fauna. In this study new records are reported, details of habitats are given and a checklist of the amphibians and reptiles of Mahenge Mountain are provided. In addition, biogeographical analyses were carried out to investigate patterns of spatial turnover in species. This was achieved by calculating the standard similarity index between the amphibian assemblages of the highland Mahenge Mountains (>850 m) and the lowland Kilombero floodplain (<400 m). The results show significant differences (62\%) between the two areas, reflecting large altitudinal turnover in species between the widespread lowland fauna and the montane fauna. This is further emphasized by a comparison of transects in lowland Mozambique and highland Zimbabwe, which has a comparable similarity index measure of 54\%, impressive when comparing the difference in distance and altitude between the two transects. The reasons for this marked lowland-highland differentiation in Tanzania are poorly understood. Concern is raised for the preservation of this highland endemic fauna in the light of continuing habitat destruction.},

	abstract = {Specimens of Arthroleptis attaining a body length of nearly 58 mm have been collected above 1790 m a.s.l. on the Nguru Mountains, part of the Eastern Arc mountain chain of Tanzania. In body size this material slightly surpasses the other giant Eastern Are high-altitude species A. tanneri and A. nikeae, and differs in the proportions of the foot, and patterning of the chin. The Nguru material is referred to a new species which qualifies as being critically endangered on account of its apparently limited geographical range. A clade including the three giant Arthroleptis species seems likely, showing parallels with several other isolated forest-dwelling Eastern Arc high-altitude anurans.},
