This supplemental list of types was primarily stimulated into being by a report on herpetolog-ical collections (ibid.), growth of the Field Museum of Natural His-tory herpetological collections, and the numerous requests for infor-mation on typic materials in the Edward H. Taylor collection deposited at this Museum. The list of types in this text are of named forms of reptiles and amphibians not listed in the earlier "Type List" (Marx, 1958) plus holotypes of listed forms in that text subsequently added to the collection. The total inventory of type material is summarized in Table 1. Gretchen Anderson kindly typed this manuscript. Table 1.
