Abstract
Thirty years ago, on an honours field trip, I was introduced to Neville Passmore’s and Vincent
Carruthers’ excellent new book, South African frogs.1 For me at least, this was a fortunate
introduction: four years later, when it came to choosing study species for my doctorate on sexual
selection, I chose to work on two local toad species. Thirty years and a revised edition (1995) on,
Carruthers, together with Louis du Preez, has produced a successor, which extends the range to
the whole of southern Africa.
