Abstract

A survey was carried out at Jerejak Island, Penang, Peninsular Malaysia from August 2008 to January 2011 to inventorise the amphibians contained therein. Specimens were either captured at night by hand or fishnets and then identified. The results showed that a total of 10 species of amphibians from 5 families were recorded during this survey, three of which have not previously been recorded in the Jerejak Island. The most common anuran species were the Common Asiatic Toad (Duttaphrynus melanostictus) and the Common Treefrog (Polypedates leucomystax) while the least common amphibian was the White-lipped Frog (Hylarana labialis).
