ECUADOR CHECKLIST 



ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 



Drafts of this checklist were read by Ronald I. Crombie, William 

 E. Duellman, W. Ronald Heyer, John D. Lynch, Roy W. McDiarmid, and 

 Ernest E. Williams. I am grateful for their comments, which helped 

 bring many names up to date and added several additional species to the 

 list. I also thank the many sources of funding for the field work in 

 Ecuador that was the impetus for creating this list: Earthwatch and the 

 Center for Field Studies in Belmont, Massachusetts, the Barbour Fund of 

 the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, the Richmond and 

 Anderson Funds of the Department of Biology, Harvard University, and 

 the Museu de Zoologia of the Universidade de SIo Paulo. Gabrielle 

 Dundon and the Friends Public Programs of the MCZ allowed me the use of 

 their printer for typing the manuscript.
