bors the most diverse assemblage of frogs in the West Indies. At least 26 species of Eleutherodactylus occur in the mountain range and 20 of those are known from the vicinity of Castillon, a village on the north slope (Schwartz, 1973; Hedges and Thomas, 1987; Hedges et al., 1987). Such diversity of Eleutherodactylus at a single locality rivals that of any comparable area in Central or South America.
