This outstanding volume is the result of the longest enduring of Duellman's research projects; add it to your bookshelf! -- David C. Cannatella Phyllomedusa Overall, this is a very detailed, well-written, up-to-date summary of known information on these frogs. It will be indispensable to scientists who are or will be working with marsupial frogs. It will also be valuable to advanced students of herpetology. Highly Recommended. Choice
