Museum holdings and literature records from localities within the park were combined with our data to obtain an overall picture of the herpetofauna. The park contains a mosaic of forest and savanna that straddles the Niger River. Twenty-two species of amphibians and 34 species of reptiles were recorded from the park, four species of amphibians and two of reptiles are the first records from Guinea. Seven species of reptiles are listed as threatened by the IUCN Red List or CITES, but according to the Global Amphibian Assessment, none of the amphibians is threatened. Stomach contents of an arboreal colubrid snake included a species of bat (Mops condylurus), which represents the first confirmed record from Guinea. Conservation of the park is paramount because: 1) it is the only protected area containing dry forest in Guinea; 2) gallery forest provides suitable habitat for amphibian, reptile, and mammal species otherwise restricted to tropical rainforest elsewhere in West Africa; and 3) several species of threatened reptiles endemic to West Africa are in the park.1 aGreenbaum, Eli1 aCarr, John, L.  u<Go to ISI>://PREV20051012970200542nas a2200157   4500008004100000245011900041210006900160260001300229300001000242490000700252100001900259700002400278700002800302700001900330856003500349       2008                        eng d00aAmphibian chytrid fungus infections in Hyperolius (Anura : Hyperoliidae) from eastern Democratic Republic of Congo0 aAmphibian chytrid fungus infections in Hyperolius Anura Hyperoli  cMar 2008  a70-730 v391 aGreenbaum, Eli1 aKusamba, Chifundera1 aAristote, Mwenebatu, M.1 aReed, Kurt, D.  u<Go to ISI>://PREV200800402541
