INTRODUCTION 



This bibliography and index to The Southwestern Naturalist, 

 volumes 1-40, is the result of independent work by the authors. 

 Upon learning of their duplication of efforts it was decided to 

 combine our efforts. As a result errors or omissions by either 

 author (and there were some) was discovered and corrected, 

 hopefully to make a publication useful to the herpetological 

 community. 



The present bibliography is a numbered alphabetical listing 

 by author (s) of all the papers of herpetological interest 

 published in The Southwestern Naturalist, Volume 1, 1956 through 

 Volxime 40, 1995. Volume 36 (4): 311-61 A is not included as this 

 is a complete index of volumes 1-36, 1956-1991 and to include 

 this would be repetitious. Book reviews are included when of a 

 herpetological nature. These are followed by : A review, after 

 the title. Primary articles and notes are treated equally. 

 Junior authors are referenced to the primary author. Errata 

 notices are referenced to the original article and treated as a 

 paper for completeness. All articles with original names are 

 preceded by an *. and original names are boldfaced. The 

 scientific name index includes all the herpetological scientific 

 names included in the various articles. Names in the Literature 

 Cited and Book Reviews are not included. The numbered articles 

 are listed for each taxon in numerical order with the first page 

 of the use of the name. Those names ending in i or ii are both 

 listed under ii whenever both versions appear, otherwise as used 

 in the articles. All spelling variations are maintained even 

 when it is obvious that it is a typo. 



Our sincere thanks to C. Cans for suggesting this project 

 and to G. R. Zug and W. R. Heyer for suggesting the inclusion of 

 the scientific name index and to H. S. Smith for suggesting we 

 combine our efforts.
