A Survey of the Herpetofauna of the Hellshire Hills, Jamaica, Including the Redisocery of the Blue-tailed Galliwasp (Clestus Duquesneyi Grant)

摘要

Herpetological surveys were conducted from 1992 to 1998 in the interior of the Hellshire Hills- one the largest remaining habitats of primary dry forest in the insular Caribbean. In addition, baseline data from three pitfall trapping grids were obtained in 1997. A total of 18 species (2 frogs, 12 lizards and 4 snakes) were recorded, at least 12 of which are endemic to Jamaica.
