INTRODUCTION 



The herpetological literature on the Puerto Rican-Virgin Island area 

 is extensive and scattered, with many papers appearing in obscure, easily- 

 overlooked journals. The authors have spent considerable time and effort 

 ferreting out this literature. The present bibliography is offered in 

 order to save the large and ever-growing number of herpetologists interested 

 in this region from having to duplicate such effort. 



This list is comprehensive, though probably incomplete. Literature was 

 intensively scanned through 1973; less concentrated efforts have yielded 

 several more recent references. It is hoped that as literature overlooked 

 by the present authors is discovered, and as new literature appears, other 

 investigators will take it upon themselves to bring the bibliography up to 

 date by contributing periodic supplements. 



In some cases rather peripheral papers have been included if in 

 addition to the central topic they embody discussion of Puerto Rican 

 reptiles or amphibians. In some cases a note indicating the nature of 

 the reference to Puerto Rican species is appended in parentheses.
