Abstract

The herpetofauna of Swaziland has been inadequately documented. A study of the reptiles of Swaziland conducted principally by the junior author over more than two decades is now being written up and an amphibian survey of Swaziland is currently being carried out by the senior author. Preliminary checklists of the amphibians and reptiles have been prepared and are presented. Within Swaziland regional Comp.nents of amphibian and reptile communities are identified and effectively indicate a rich and diverse herpetofauna.
