     The Society for Northwestern Vertebrate Biology announces the 
     publication of Numbers 2 and 3 in its monograph series, Northwest 
     Fauna. Both issues showcase significant manuscripts prepared over 40 
     years ago, but which remained unpublished for reasons unrelated to the 
     quality of the science.
     
     Northwest Fauna Number 2 (US$ 15) includes Mammals of the Olympic 
     National Park and Vicinity, by Victor B. Scheffer. Although buried in 
     park files since 1949, this paper played an important role in the 
     recent controversy over mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus) in 
     Olympic National Park (Anunsen and Anunsen. 1993. Conserv. Biol. 
     7:954--957; Scheffer. 1993. Conserv. Biol. 7:916--919; Lyman. 1994. 
     Conserv. Biol. 8:898--901). This monograph includes a number of 
     photographs of historical interest, and its publication represents a 
     significant addition to the mammalogy of the Pacific Northwest. This 
     issue includes a Preface by Keith B. Aubry and Murray L. Johnson.
     
     Northwest Fauna Number 3 (US$ 10) includes Reptiles of the State of 
     Washington, by Murray L. Johnson. This monograph was prepared in 1954 
     and was originally to have been published by the University of 
     Washington Press. This issue includes a Preface, by Robert M. Storm, 
     and Distribution of Amphibians and Reptiles in Washington State, by 
     Kelly R. McAllister. The latter is a compilation of up-to-date 
     distribution maps from the Washington State GAP Analysis Project.
     
     Both monographs are available (prepaid, include $2 per order for 
     postage and handling) from: Janet Jones, Treasurer, Society for 
     Northwestern Vertebrate Biology, 4820 Yelm Highway SE, Suite B 175, 
     Olympia, WA 98503.
