Re: [vernalpool] Re: Good Salamander ID Resource?

There aren't any that I'm aware of, or at least that I can bring to mind
(wasn't there one done a long time ago out of the UMass press? Rorer
illustrations - I never owned it and can't remember what it was). With the
exception of the Mink Frog, Slimy salamander, Five-lined skink, and maybe
one or two other species that might edge into NE from adjoining states, our
field guide includes all herps found in NE in a pictorial guide section at
the front of the book. Not extensive species accounts, but a shot and some
diagnostic info for each. Extensive species accounts are limited to vernal
pool dependent species, but functionally cover the NE region.
