DEPARTMENT OF REPTILES. 
Raymond L. Ditmars, Curator; Chas. E. Snyder, Head Keeper. 
It was only by persistent attention to sources in the United 
States and tropical America that the reptile collection for the 
past year was maintained at the uniformly high standard that 
was set at the opening of the Park sixteen years ago. It means 
much to explain that not one reptile or amphibian of Kuropean, 
Asiatic, Malayan, African or Australian origin was added to 
the collection during the past year. The war has rendered it 
absolutely impossible to obtain Old World specimens. 
However, the census of the collection of reptiles and am- 
phibians for the past year compares very favorably with the 
census of the close of 1914. One reason for this has been the 
success of the Reptile House staff in maintaining the collection.
