Amphibian Species of the World database

The collection contains over 6800 species representing roughly 55% of the world's described herpetofauna. On average, 76 species names per year (range 20-171) have been added to the Herpetology files over the past 40 years, with approximately 2970 species or 25% of the estimated 12,000 world's total amphibians and reptiles having been added in a little over a quarter century. The holdings of the Herpetology collection are computerized; however, inventorying the collection and proofing the database are on-going processes.

The Herpetology collection may be thought of as an ever-growing library of the world's amphibian and reptile faunas. It is an irreplaceable international resource that deserves the best of care.
