This book presents a major summary of what is currently known about
North American amphibians and fossils in the Pleistocene. The only
book available on the subject, it includes a general treatment of
the Pleistocene and its effects on the physical and biological
world, and features an illustrated bestiary of the herpetological
families and genera as well as a discussion of the identification
of fossils. The changes in the North American herpetofauna from the
Cretaceous to the Pleistocene are cogently summarized, and complete
herpetofaunal lists from the seven designated Pleistocene regions
of North America are included. The concluding chapter details range
adjustments and extinction patterns, and contrasts the evolutionary
"stasis" of the herpetofauna with the avian and mammalian fauna.
The work will be considered an essential reference for
paleontologists.
