Abstract

We inventoried amphibians and reptiles on 5 U.S. Naval holdings located on the Kitsap and Toandos Peninsulas, western Washington. Eight amphibians, including an intro- duced anuran, and 4 reptiles were detected, resulting in 87 new locality records. Six species were found on the Toandos Peninsula where no previous records exist. Of the species that his- torically or currently occur on the Kitsap Peninsula, 1 amphibian and 3 reptiles were not de- tected. Aquatic funnel trapping yielded the most detections for lentic-breeding amphibians, and plastic cover-sheets were best for reptiles. Wooden coverboards were not effective for sampling amphibians or reptiles.
