Line equals 1 mm. this concavity). The neural arches are comparatively thin, and the neural canal was obviously quite spacious. Material: Urostyle, ZIL/EL/88. Description: This element fits morphologically into the variation range of contemporary Ranidae. Both in Ranidae and Bufonidae this range is rather broad which precludes precise assignment of the specimen. Material: Radioulnae ZIL/EL/36 (Fig. 8D), ZIL/EL/46 (Fig. 8E), ZIL/EL/72 (Fig. 8F), ZIL/EL/73, ZIL/EL/114, ZIL/EL/152. Description: These radioulnae are medium to small sized (compared with those identified as Bufo). A conspicuous character is that most of them are laterally compressed in their columnar section. This results in that their anterior and posterior margins run out in a distinct ridge. The smallest specimen (ZIL/EL/72), however, has its margins rounded. These radioulnae might be ascribed to the Ranidae, however, lack of diagnostic characters of these elements casts some doubts on this assignment. Accompanying Vertebrate Fauna in the Sample From Kudaro I Cave, Tsepkin (1980) gave a list of accompanying fishes, Darevsky (1980) mentioned one lizard genus (Lacerta sp.), Burchak-Abramovich (1980) gave a list of birds, Gadzhiev (1980) bats, Gromov & Fokanov (1980).
