Peters. During this period large collections ofEcuadorian material have been made by a number of workers and thismaterial is now deposited in North American collections, notably theUniversity of Kansas Museum of Natural History, the United StatesNational Museum of Natural History, and the Museum of Comparative Zoo-logy. These collections have shown that the Ecuadorian herpetofauna isexceptionally rich, and until now a complete checklist has not beenaval lable . As is the case with any checklist, this is very much a work-in-progress. Of the 682 taxa recorded herein from Ecuador, 136 have beendescribed since 1970, and I am aware of many more species awaitingdescription. There is no shortage of basic exploratory work yet to bedone. Although most of the major habitats and regions have been sam-pled, there still remain large blank areas on collecting maps that willno doubt turn up many surprises. I have made efforts to check outsuspicious literature records, but in some cases species may beincluded on this list due to either misidenti f icat ions or incorrectlocality data.I chose not to include information on distribution in this listfor two reasons. The distributions of many species are poorly known,and many species appear to have extremely restricted ranges. Asimplified notation of distribution would be misleading because itwould imply that distributions are well known even when they are not.Also, many of the older records, both in the literature and in col-lections, are suspect, and if these taxa are not well represented inrecent collections it is not possible to make realistic estimations ofdistribution. I have made every effort to eliminate these, but some nodoubt remain. Field work in Ecuador has characteristically beenexploratory, and only a few localities have been sampled adequately.More faunal work concentrating on specific areas is needed, and thiswork is probably best done by resident naturalists.The bibliography is a current (to March 1982) and fairly compre-hensive guide to the systematic literature on the Ecuadorian herpeto-fauna. It contains all references to original descriptions ofEcuadorian taxa, as well as ecological and systematic papers thatmention Ecuadorian specimens. This latter coverage is incomplete, but Ibelieve that the bibliography includes most references likely to be use-ful to any student of the Ecuadorian herpetofauna. I relied heavily onVanzolini's bibliography of South American reptiles (1978) for locatingreferences on reptiles, and his comments on many of the older papersshould be consulted before any great effort is made to locate obscurepapers . I hope that publication of this list and bibliography will stimu-late interest in the enormously diverse Ecuadorian herpetofauna. Inmany respects Ecuador is a microcosm of tropical South America, andstudents of amphibian and reptile biology are sure to find much ofinterest there. ECUADOR CHECKLIST ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Drafts of this checklist were read by Ronald I. Crombie, WilliamE. Duellman, W. Ronald Heyer, John D. Lynch, Roy W. McDiarmid, andErnest E. Williams. I am grateful for their comments, which helpedbring many names up to date and added several additional species to thelist. I also thank the many sources of funding for the field work inEcuador that was the impetus for creating this list: Earthwatch and theCenter for Field Studies in Belmont, Massachusetts, the Barbour Fund ofthe Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, the Richmond andAnderson Funds of the Department of Biology, Harvard University, andthe Museu de Zoologia of the Universidade de SIo Paulo. GabrielleDundon and the Friends Public Programs of the MCZ allowed me the use oftheir printer for typing the manuscript.
