THE BAYLOR BULLETIN 



arranged in chronological order, and in addition to the title 

 of each paper, lists all species therein described as new by 

 the author. If a name is very obsolete or if the so-called 

 species is merely a well known form redescribed, the proper 

 modern name is added in parenthesis. 



This bibliography includes every book, paper or article, 

 referring in whole or in part to Texas reptiles and am- 

 phibians, that I have been able to accumulate in the col- 

 lecting together of a general herpetological library, those I 

 have found in my browsings through public, university and 

 private libraries, and in several cases those discovered by 

 my correspondents. 



In the preparation of my catalogue, I have received as- 

 sistance from many sources, and here take occasion to ac- 

 knowledge my indebtedness to the following persons: To 

 Mr. Clement S. Brimley of Raleigh, North Carolina, for 

 lists of material received by him from several Texas locali- 

 ties and for looking up references inaccessible to me; to 

 Hon. J. D. Mitchell, Victoria, Texas, for a list of the rep- 

 tiles of Victoria County and for specimens from a number 

 of localities ; to Mr. Witmer Stone of the Philadelphia Acad- 

 emy of Natural Science and the late Arthur Erwin Brown 

 of Philadelphia, for invaluable assistance in looking up ref- 

 erences; to Dr. Leonhard Stejneger, United States National 

 Museum, Washington, D. C, and Miss Mary C. Dickenson, 

 American Museum of Natural History, New York City, for 

 the loan of specimens belonging to their institutions ; to Mr. 

 Julius Hurter, St. Louis, Missouri, for publications, speci- 

 m.ens and lists of material collected on his several Texas 

 trips; and to Messrs. Scott Cotten, formerly of Post City, 

 Texas, but now of Havana, Cuba; R. C Reeder, Stratford, 

 Texas ; Rev. H. E. Fowler, Lindale, Texas ; Aubrey L. Gooch 

 and Harold Gooch, Austin, Texas; Louis Garni, San An- 

 tonio, Texas; J. D. Isaacks, Cleveland, Texas, and Pro- 

 fessors J. L. Kesler and W. T. Gooch, Baylor University, 

 Waco, Texas, for material from many Texas localities. 



The catalogue, such as it is, is submitted to the indulgence, 

 and, it is hoped, merciful criticism of the reader.
