Exploration du Parc National de la Garamba – Amphibia by Robert F. Inger (1968 Congo Scientific Expedition Monograph)

Published in Kinshasa in 1968, this scientific monograph forms Fascicule 52 of the research series “Exploration du Parc National de la Garamba – Mission H. de Saeger (1949–1952).”

The volume documents amphibian species recorded during the extensive Belgian scientific expedition to Garamba National Park, located in what is today the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Garamba expedition formed one of the most comprehensive mid-20th century biological surveys conducted in Central Africa.

Authored by Robert F. Inger, a leading American herpetologist associated with the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, the work presents taxonomic descriptions, specimen records, and distribution data relating to amphibians collected during the expedition.

Issued by the Institut des Parcs Nationaux, the publication forms part of a large series of zoological monographs documenting the biodiversity of Central Africa. These expedition publications were printed primarily for scientific institutions and researchers and remain sought after by collectors of African exploration literature, natural history research, and herpetology references.

This example comprises 190 pages including the index. No plates or maps were issued with this fascicle, as published.

A solid reference work documenting amphibian biodiversity within one of Africa’s historically significant protected areas.
