INTRODUCTION 



« 



A great deal of popular interest has been generated about the 

 bog turtle ( Clemmys muhlenbergi 1 ) in recent years, resulting in status 

 studies and research projects throughout the species' range. However, 

 the gain in knowledge about this secretive turtle has been documented 

 regularly in the literature with varying degrees of reliability since 

 the early 1800's. 



This bibliography organizes citings for most of the available 

 scientific and popular papers on the bog turtle published up to 1 

 December 1978. The citings are numbered, then cross-indexed by subject. 

 Relevant page numbers are given in parentheses following reference 

 numbers. An (s) or (p) following the citing indicates whether the 

 article has original data of scientific interest or general informa- 

 tion written in a popular style. Significant data from all articles 

 have been cross-indexed.
