This report develops a comprehensive Faunal Database for terrestrial vertebrate species (excluding white-tailed deer and black bear) that were predicted or documented to occur in four national park areas of the eastern United States: Gettysburg National Military Park (Gettysburg National Military Park), Eisenhower National Historic Site (EISE), Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site (HOFU), and Valley Forge National Historical Park (VAFO). The development of this Faunal Database was part of a long-term project (1992-1996) in the four national park areas. For this report, there were created three output (hard copy) versions of the Faunal Database, which allowed the database to be searched manually for the data of interest (i. e. vertebrate species, habitat, or survey protocol). Output version I focused on the vertebrate species and include (1) common name, (2) scientific name, (3) family name, (4) order, (5) Pro-Cite group name, (6) primary habitat, (7) secondary habitat, (8) occurrence status, (9) residency status, (10) legal population status, and (11) protocol. Output version II emphasized habitats, and Version III focused on survey protocol. Both Output Versions II and III included variables 1-7 and 11. Information on predicted and documented species was obtained from field guides, range maps, various databases, and remote-sensing information
