LIST OF THE AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES OF IDAHO, 



WITH NOTES ON THE SPECIES IN THE 



COLLECTION OF THE ACADEMY 



BY 

 JOHN VAN DENBURGH 



Curator of the Department of Herpetology 



AND 



JOSEPH R. SLEVIN 



Assistant Curator of the Department of Herpetology 



We do not know of any published list of the amphibians and 

 reptiles of Idaho. The little that is known regarding the occur- 

 rence and distribution of various species of these classes within 

 this state is scattered rather widely through a number of pub- 

 lications and is not readily available to the student. In record- 

 ing the Idaho material which is now in the museum of the Cali- 

 fornia Academy of Sciences, we, therefore, present also a list 

 similar to those already published for the states of Arizona, 

 Utah and Nevada. This list is thought to include all species 

 now definitely known to live in Idaho. Those which are not 

 yet represented in the Academy's collections by specimens col- 

 lected in Idaho are indicated by a star preceding the number 

 in the list. Following this list are given notes on the species 

 in the Academy's collections. Most of our Idaho specimens 

 were secured by Mr. Richard P. Erwin and Mr. Joseph R. 

 Slevin.
