INTRODUCTION 



The present alphabetical bibliography by author (s) consists 

 of all the herpetological papers published in this series in the 

 first 95 volumes, 1872-1992. All junior authors are listed 

 alphabetically and cross referenced to the senior author. All 

 articles with original herpetological names are preceeded by an *. 

 Abs . after a title indicates that it is an abstract only. 



The scientific name index consists of all the herpetological 

 names used and referenced to the article (s) where used. There 

 are two exceptions to this. In Smith, Hobart M. and Rozella B. 

 Smith 1970; 73 (2): 302-318 the names used in Mosauer ' s 

 bibliography are not included but the names in the text of the 

 article are. In Brame, A. H. , R. Hochnadel, H. M. Smith and R. B. 

 Smith 1978; 81 (1): 43-56 a complete list of all the known 

 salamanders of the world was given. This list was not included as 

 it would really serve no useful purpose. Only the first page 

 number of an article is given. All original names are boldfaced. 

 No names used in literature cited sections are included. All 

 original spellings have been maintained except those that ended in 

 i or ii. When both appeared ii is used. 



In addition to the Transactions the academy put out as a 

 special publication an "Index (Table of Contents) Transactions 

 Kansas Academy of Science, Volumes 1-33 (1872-1930)" and again "A 

 Bibliography and Index of Transactions Kansas Academy of Science, 

 Volumes 1-65 (1872-1962) by Walter H. Schoewe" that could be of 

 interest to herpetologists . They are not in the main bibliography 

 or the scientific mame index. This bibliography and index updates 

 those publications. 



The author wishes to thank C. Cans for suggesting this 

 project. For suggesting the addition of a scientific name index 

 G. R. Zug and W. R. Heyer.
