DEPARTMENT OF REPTILES. 

 Rjiynioiul L. Ditinars, Curator; Charles Snyder, Head Keeper. 



The work of the department during the year involved a 

 continuous struggle to maintain the collection at a standard to 

 compare with former years. No foreign specimens arrived to 

 fill gaps caused by the gradual loss of delicate specimens dur- 

 ing four years of war and embargo on the shipments of all kinds 

 of animals. Moreover, it was extremely difficult to obtain speci- 

 mens of the North American reptiles. Nearly all of our former 

 collectors were engaged in some kind of government work and 

 could not be reached or had not the opportunity to gather speci- 

 mens.
