MATERIALS AND METHODS More than 3000 specimens (see Appendix B), representing all but one of the species of carphodactyline geckos, were examined including living and preserved material from major museums and a few private collections (see Appendix A for collection acronyms). Formalin or alcohol fixed specimens stored in 65-75% ethanol provided the basis for external character analysis. Many of these specimens, particularly those from New Caledonia, were collected during the course of the study. These animals were killed by intraperitoneal injection with T-61 euthanasia solution or by freezing before stan- dard fixation with 10% neutral buffered formalin. Osteological information was ob- tained from dermestid beetle prepared dry skeletons or from specimens cleared and stained following a modification of the methods of Wassersug (1976), Dingerkus & Uhler (1977), and Hanken & Wassersug (1981). In addition, whole body radiographs of.
