INTRODUCTION 



No comprehensive bibliography dealing with the Chameleont i dae has ever been pub- 

 lished. This listing is designed to serve as a single source of information on 

 chameleons and contains most major papers for the one hundred year period indicated. 

 Included are 5^0 citations, some of which are not entirely devoted to chameleons. In 

 these, references to chameleons are indicated by the page numbers and plate numbers 

 included within brackets. Papers which refer in their entirety to chameleons will contair 

 no such indication. 



ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 



This work was completed only through the kind and unfailing assistance of many 

 persons. Because of their long hours in searching for references, I would like to thank 

 the following staff members of Albert R. Mann Library (Cornell University): Mrs. Peggy 

 Anderson, Mrs. Carol Baer, Mrs. Cathline Brown, Mrs. Martha Cohick, Mrs. John S. Griffith, 

 Mrs. Helen Krebs, Mrs. Carolyn Myers, Miss M. Karin Schlenk, Mrs. B. Bliss Simon, 

 Miss Shirley Taber, Mr. Fred Waldeck, and Mrs. Susan Woddard. Thanks also go to 

 Sally Roche and Thomas Limner of the University of Rochester and Marcia A. Edwards of the 

 Zoological Society of London. 



Special consideration is due Mrs. Daniel M. Connelly for many hours of assistance 

 and encouragement, Miss Virginia L. Stark for her help with many logistics problems, 

 Mr. Peter A. Lewin for locating some obscure references, Mrs. Carl F. Busack for typing 

 the original manuscript, and Mr. Richard Archbold for financial assistance without which 

 this bibliography could never have been completed. 



It is hoped that a table of contents and index to this listing will eventually be 

 completed; a compilation of sources prior to 1864 is in progress. 



In spite of the assistance, errors of omission are my own and, for these, I 

 apologize. I would greatly appreciate assistance in locating these errors, and encourage 

 those noting any to tell me about them.
