So far, only few aspects of this mission have been published, viz. accounts on some remarkable frogs and skinks collected during the stay (Bohme 1994 b, c), including a skink which proved to be new to science (Bohme et al. 2000).

Moreover, a study of the speciose snake community found in Ziama forest was published (Bohme 2000), containing several new country records. In addition, some more spec- imens and important voucher photographs of reptiles were subsequently provided by W. Biitzler and his mammalog- ical colleague Dr. Henning Vierhaus, Soest. All these ma- terials are deposited in the Zoologisches Forschungsmu- seum A. Koenig in Bonn (ZFMK). A few further speci- mens were traced in the Zoological Museum of the Uni- versity of Copenhagen (ZMUC) which had been collect- ed and sent to Denmark in the 1950-ies by the Danish zo- ologist/entomologist Herold Olsen who was a resident of N'Zerekore, SE Guinea (see Bohme 1994 b). He had kept there, in his "Centre Entomologique" in N'Zerekore also some herpetological specimens which were guarded, af- ter his death, along with his other collections, by two Guinean women formerly employed by him, still in 1993 (see Bohme 1994 b). In 2003, the second author (MOR) started visiting Guinea, and earned out herpetological surveys with a main focus on amphibians in several southeastern forested are- as (Foret de Diecke, Mt. Bero, Foret de Dere, Pic de Fon - Simandou Range, Mt. Nimba: see Rodel et al. 2004, Rddel & Bangoura 2004a, b, 2006). The third author (CB) surveyed amphibians on Mt. Nimba (2007), Pic de Fon and Mt. Tetini (2008) and the Fouta Djallon and Ziama forest (2010). The amphibian collections have partly been published (Rodel et al. 2004 and see above), while some reptile specimen
