During a 28-day survey of the herpetofauna of the Mossman Gorge area a total of 24 species (15 reptiles and nine amphibians) was recorded, with a further three reptile and three amphibian species being added by other workers. As the survey was conducted over a relatively short period the list presented here is probably incomplete. The survey extended the northern limit for the distribution of Saproscincus tetradactylus.
