Comments: Kassina cochranae is an arboreal forest and farmbush dweller, ranging from the rainforest edge into the moist savannah zone from western Ivory Coast to eastern Sierra Leone ( Schiøtz 1967; Rödel et al. 2002). During the rainy season, we heard a vast number of males calling concealed in dense vegetation, close to a grassy swamp (habitat C: 07°32.993’N, 008°24.753’W; 425 m asl). Four males GoogleMaps measured 34.0‒ 36.5 mm. In the Yéalé village, a K. cochranae metamorph was found by dip-netting in a deep pond in dense farmbush vegetation. At night, adult males were heard calling at the same site between inaccessible dense vegetation, edging a swamp (07°31.928’N, 008°25.401’W; 425 m asl) GoogleMaps .
