and reptiles of Panama, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua in preparation, 

 for much information and assistance in identification, obtained dur- 

 ing a memorable association with him on Barro Colorado Island in 

 1928. A short paper by Dr. G. K. Noble of the American Museum 

 of Natural History lists the frogs of the Panama collection, describ- 

 ing one of them as a new species, Eleutherodactylus goldmani." 



Doctor Dunn has examined a number of specimens, including espe- 

 cially the frogs of the genera Phyllobates and Atelopus, which are 

 listed by him,^ and has differed with Noble in various identifications.' 

 Amaral has listed some of the snakes of this collection in connection 

 with various studies. A new pit-viper, Bothrops leptura, was de- 

 scribed in 1923.* This is now placed in the synonymy of Bothrops 

 monticellii ( Peracca) . 



The present paper lists the entire collection with the exception of 

 the turtles, which are to be reported upon in a separate paper by 

 Doctor Stejneger. Bibliographic references have been omitted in 

 view of the expected appearance of a complete review of the fauna 

 in question by Doctor Dunn.
