Caledoniscincus austrocaledonicus and C. haplorhinus were extremely common along the forest margins and rank grass habitats but within the forest the only skink species recorded were C. austrocaledonicus, **which favoured light-gaps**, and C. atropunctatus which was throughout the forest in deep leaf-litter.

Some reference would be appreciated - thanks
