Abstract: The results of two collecting trips to Chiapas, Mexico, in 2000 and 2001 are summarized in the form of species lists. The vertebrate specimens (mammals, amphibians, and reptiles) deposited in the HNHM are enumerated, together with the exact collecting localities. Altogether, the trips resulted in 173 mammal and 55 herpetological specimens. They belong to 59 and 32 species, respectively, of which 32 mammal and 14 amphibian and reptile species are new to the collections of the museum. Brief characterization of the vegetation types, and descriptions of the collecting methods are also given.
