The NBM amphibian and reptile collection was established by Dr. Stanley W. Gorham (1917-1984), who produced the first modern checklist of world amphibians. The collection now includes about 13,000 whole specimens in alcohol, a sizable and rapidly growing frozen tissue collection (-80oC), a small collection of dried skins (add link), and several hundred dried turtle shells and skeletons. Although mostly of New Brunswick origin, the collection also houses material from Fiji, Spain, Panama, Gabon, and Russia. An associated and significant collection of frog helminths is housed in the general invertebrate collection.Taxonomic Coverages
