INTRODUCTION 



The present alphabetical listing by author (s) covers all 

 papers bearing on herpetology that have appeared in Volume 1-100, 

 1882-1987, of the Proceedings of the Biological Society of 

 Washington and the four numbers of the Bulletin series concerning 

 reference to amphibians and reptiles. 



From Volume 1 through 82 (in part) , the articles were issued 

 as separates with only the volume number, page numbers and year 

 printed on each. Articles in Volume 82 (in part) through 89 were 

 issued with volume number, article number, page numbers and year. 

 Beginning with Volume 90, the Proceedings became a quarterly 

 journal citing the volume number, issue number, page numbers and 

 the year. Thus, the seeming inconsistencies in citations derive 

 from the historically variable citation within the Proceedings. 

 The Bulletin has been issued in numbers only. 



All junior authors are listed alphabetically and cross 

 referenced to the senior author for ease in locating their 

 publications. As a result any article in this bibliography can 

 be located by knowing the title or the author (s) . All articles 

 with original names are preceded by an * (asterisk) . 



All scientific names of amphibians and reptiles are listed 

 alphabetically and referenced to the article (s) where they are 

 mentioned. No names in bibliographic references are included. 

 All original spellings in the articles have been maintained 

 except those that ended with i or ij.. Double ri has been 

 substituted when both have appeared. Proceedings articles are 

 cited with only the volume and first page number; Bulletin 

 articles are preceded by a "B". All original names in the 

 Proceedings are indicated in bold. No original names were 

 proposed in the Bulletin. This arrangement makes it easy to 

 distinguish articles with original names. The page number 

 identifies the article, and not the actual page of occurrence of 

 the name. 



The author wishes to thank C. Gans for suggesting this 

 project and for suggesting the addition of a scientific name 

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