1. Order of listing for lizards follows W. C. Brown (1957) and amphibia and other 
reptiles follow Oliver and Shaw (1953) 
2. Describer is listed after generic and specific names since herpetological journals 
sometimes require this Information. Their use is probably not necessary for most 
of our accounts. 
3. Most common names are from Oliver and Shaw. Polynesian Gecko stems from Schmidt and 
Necker( 1933) but is somewhat inappropriate since the species is found throughout 
a much wider area that Polynesia. RBC coined the name Black Skink for use in the 
paper on the birds of Swain's Island (Clapp, 1968) 
4. Also often listed as Peropus mut 13 at us (Wiegmann) 
5. Also often listed as Cryptoblepharus boutonii poecilopleurus (Wiegmann). Proper 
citation may be Ablepharus boutonii Gray but this needs verification. 
6. Also often listed as Lygosoma. (Leolopisma) noctua (Lesson)
