 distribution of indices, translations, bibliographies, and other 

 such materials which are not published as part of a research 

 project, yet are potentially useful to other herpetologists. SHIS 

 is published by the Division of Amphibians and Reptiles. Editors: 

 J. A. Peters, 1-26; G. R, Zug, 27-40 & 44-101; F. J. Irish, 41-42;
