INTRODUCTION <br />A total of 15 Contaminant Hazard Reviews have been published since 1985 <br />(Eisler 1985a,b,c,d; 1986a,b,c,d; 1987a,b; 1988a,b; 1989; Eisler and Jacknow <br />1985; Odenkirchen and Eisler 1988). These reviews briefly summarized <br />ecological and toxicological aspects of' various chemical pollutants, with <br />particular emphasis on fishery and wildlife resources. Specifically, reviews. <br />were prepared on selected agricultural pesticides (mirex, carbofuran, <br />diazinon, toxaphene, chlorpyrifos), metalloids (arsenic, selenium), metals <br />(cadmium, lead, chromium, mercury, tin), and organic industrial wastes <br />(polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons). <br />We present herein an index to the common and scientific names of all <br />species listed in Contaminant Hazard Reviews 1 to 15. This report was <br />prepared in response to a request from environmental specialists of the U.S. <br />Fish and Wildlife Service. Taxonomic nomenclatures for plants, invertebrates, <br />and vertebrates are under constant revision. Accordingly, we elected to <br />conform as much as possible to the systems and spellings used by Swain and <br />Swain (1948) for insects, Edwards (1974) for birds, American Fisheries Society <br />(1980) for fishes, Johnson and Finley (1980) and Jenkins (1980) for <br />invertebrates, Jenkins (1980) and Scott and Wasser (1980) for plants, and <br />Nowak and Paradiso (1983) for mammals. <br />In this report, individual species are arranged alphabetically in the <br />Index by scientific and common name. The scientific name is followed by an <br />underlined number that refers to one of the Contaminant Hazard Reviews in the <br />following list, and to the page numbers within the report. <br />1= Mirex (Eisler 1985a) <br />2= Cadmium (Eisler 1985b) <br />3= Carbofuran (Eisler 1985c) <br />^?, 4= Toxaphene (Eisler and Jacknow 1985) <br />t 5= Selenium (Eisler 1985d) <br />6= Chromium (Eisler 1986a) <br />7= Polychlorinated biphenyls (Eisler 1986b) <br />8= Dioxins (Eisler 1986c) <br />?,9= Diazinon (Eisler 1986d) <br />,.•10= Mercury (Eisler 1987a) <br />11= Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (Eisler 1987b) <br />? 12= Arsenic (Eisler 1988a) <br />\-, 13= Chlorpyrifos (Odenkirchen and Eisler 1988) <br />\-14= Lead (Eisler 1988b) <br />" 15= Tin (Eisler 1989)
