Introduction 



The present bibliography and scientific name index covers all the herpetological papers 

 published in the Bulletin of the Southern California Academy of Sciences from volume 1, 1901 

 through volume 90, 1991 and the Memoir series, 1-10, 1938-1986. Prior to the Bulletin, the academy 

 published a Proceedings series from July 1 896 to September 1 899. The Proceeding consisted of six 

 volumes, but no herpetological articles were included. The Bulletin was planned as a monthly 

 publication. Volume 1 contained 10 numbers and only 9 numbers in volumes 2 through 4. In 

 volumes 5 through 23, the number of issues fluctuated from one to six. Volume 24 to 60 included 

 three numbers each year. Volume 6 1 and subsequently had four issues each year. From volume 70 to 

 the present, the Bulletin consists of three issues each year. 



In the following bibliography, all articles are listed alphabetically by authors. Junior 

 author(s) are cross-referenced to the senior author(s). All articles with original descriptions of new 

 names in herpetology are prefixed with an asterisk. 



The scientific name index includes all the scientific names of amphibians and reptiles included 

 in the numbered articles in the bibliography. Names in Literature Cited are not included. All original 

 names are boldfaced. When both i and ii appears for the same taxon then both are included under ii. 

 All names are given as appears in the paper with no effort to correct misspellings or typos. 



My thanks to C. Cans for originally suggesting this project and to G. R. Zug and W. R. 

 Heyer for suggesting the scientific name index, and R. Lawson and J. W. Wright for checking 

 missing items for me.
