Published in Cooperation with the Wildlife Conservation Society'East Africa is well known for its wealth of plants and animals, represented in game reserves, such as the Serengeti in Tanzania, the MaasaiMara in Kenya, and the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest Nature Reserve in Uganda. These reserves and others like them have been the localities of wildlife television documentaries that cover the wellknown large mammal predators, the crocodiles, the herds of migrating buffalo, and, of course, the gorillas. Less well known, but playing an important role in the East African ecosystems, are the amphibians. The ancestors of the presentday frogs and caecilians were in attendance before the rift valley started to form, and long before the first true mammals shook off the last vestiges of their reptilian ancestry.'from the IntroductionIn the first field guide and reference book about the amphibians of East Africa, Alan Channing and Kim M.
