Publications on Reptiles and Amphibians 87 



short papers by him have appeared in Copeia (No. 79, pp. 

 16-18; No. 88, pp. 98-100). The first of these papers is a note 

 on Babina, the dagger-frog, and the second is on the breeding 

 of the Milk Snake. A fourth paper, on "The Anterior Cranial 

 Elements of CEdipus and Certain Other Salamanders," is in 

 press and will appear very soon in the Bulletin. Another paper, 

 on "Some New Lizards from Northwestern Peru," has been 

 submitted to the Editor of the Annals of the New York 

 Academy of Sciences for publication. A report on the am- 

 phibians and reptiles from southern Peru, published jointly 

 with Dr. Thomas Barbour, appeared towards the close of the 

 year. A paper to be published jointly with Dr. Gregory has 

 been completed. It deals with the homologies of the alisphe- 

 noid bone throughout the vertebrate series. Finally, a rather 

 extensive paper on the osteology and phylogeny of four genera 

 of lizards — one new to science — is nearly complete and will 

 probably be published in the Bulletin. 



The two papers on Congo herpetology, of approximately 400 

 typewritten pages each, mentioned in last year's report as 

 ready for publication, were placed in the hands of the com- 

 mittee in charge of the Congo reports.
