Abstract

The terrestrial reptilian fauna of the group of islands situated west and south of the northwest peninsula of Trinidad was considered and listed by Boos (1983 a). The uniqueness of Monos Island, in view of the evidence for the existence of mammals there, was also discussed by Boos (1983 b). Several trips have since been made to these islands, resulting in the recordings of additional animals.
