RESULTS From the material collected the vertebrates have already been determined. In the course of the identification the following literature was used: Mammals: HALL 1981, REID 1997, ALVAREZ etal. 1994, MEDELLÍN et al. 1997. Amphibians and reptiles: CASAS-ANDREU & MCCOY 1979, FLORES-VILLELA 1993, ALVAREZ DEL TORO 1982.

During the project altogether 158 mammalian individuals were collected and further 15 specimens were exchanged; these altogether belong to 59 species of which 32 (marked in the list with *) are new for the HNHM.
