In 1974, he wrote a weekly column on early life in Florida 
called "Pioneer Past" for the Pasco-Hernando edition of the St. 
Petersburg Times. Although these are noteworthy, and a credit to 
his productivity, they are not included in this bibliography and 
no effort has been made to trace them. 
From what we have learned in gathering this bibliography Neill 
authored or co-authored about 272 papers and books, not including 
the numerous newspaper articles. He authored 165 papers and books 
alone, another 98 with E. Ross Allen and ten with other authors. 
Herpetological articles (186) account for the major part of this 
total followed by anthropology (35), mammalogy (25), ornithology 
(7), ichthyology (4), biogeography (2) , invertebrates (2) , botany 
(2), book reviews (2), and general (7). Some of these 
publications could be classified into two or more categories but 
for simplicity we have placed them only in one so as not to 
distort the figures. In the herpetological area, he published 127 
papers and books alone, 56 with Allen, and 3 with other authors 
for a total of 186. 
A diligent search of libraries and standard bibliographic 
sources including the interlibrary loan system has failed to 
produce any information on whether three historical novels, 
Wildcat in the West, Birdwoman's Real Story, Quanna Parker's Magic 
Button, he supposedly had written were published or copyrighted. 
In the absence of any hard evidence that they actually were 
published, they are not included in this bibliography. 
During the National Library week of April 16-22, 1967 Neill 
was honored along with five other authors in New Port Richey, 
Florida. In October, 1974, The Pasco Times had a week-long series 
on the history of the New Port Richey area in celebration of the 
city's 50th birthday, written by Neill, and concluded the series 
with a special edition of The Pasco Times. 
Neill described twelve taxa alone and two with E. Ross Allen. 
Of these fourteen taxa five are still recognized, the other seven 
being placed in synonomy (see Table I) . Of the five taxa still 
recognized three have been listed by Florida (Rare and Endangered 
Biota of Florida Volume III. Amphibians and Reptiles, ed. by Paul 
E. Moler, 1992) as threatened, rare (Amphiuma pholeter ); status 
undetermined and a candidate for listing at the Federal level 
( Pseudobranchus striatus lustricolus ); and status undetermined 
(Farancia ervtrogramma seminola). Two taxa were named for him and 
are still recognized (see Table II).
