 equipment carried by burrows. It is stated that turtles, alligators and iguanas lure passers-by in many

68. Blanchard, Frieda Cobb. 1935. Tuatara. 67(5):649-662. 



The "living fossil" Tuatara is discussed by this author and the experiences she encountered in the field 

 with a baby and her herpetologist husband. Although it is described as lizard-like, it differs in many 

 anatomical ways and is stated to be nearly as closely related to turtles as to lizards. It is the oldest 

 known reptilian type. The pineal eye is well developed. They were also searching for the primitive 

 frog Liopelma hamiltoni only found on Stephen Island along with the Tuatara. On the island along 

 with the single frog occur about 15 species of lizards but no snakes, turtles or crocodilians.

 of traveling by seaplane into uncharted areas of New Guinea is interestingly told. Crocodiles here are 

 very aggressive and respected by the natives. Many photos of the natives along with their habits, 

 including head hunting and cannibalism, is given.

73. Brown, Andrew H. 1948. Haunting heart of the Everglades. 93(2): 147-173. 



An interesting story of the Everglades in its many facets. Brought out was its reckless harvest of 

 birds and gators where one hunting party slaughtered 135 alligators in one mudhole. Some men pulled 

 the 'gators teeth to be made into watch fobs, earrings, charms, bracelets and other gew-gaws. Also 

 brought out that 10,000 alligator hides were brought to Tampa in a three month period in 1898 (an 

 unusually dry year) of these 1000 were from Roberts Lake alone. A photo of an alligator lying in 

 wait for prey is shown. A reptile craft company recounts that in one year he hauled over seven miles 

 of snake skins, mainly Green and Banded Watersnakes, Cottonmouths and Kingsnakes. Stated that a 

 five-day trip with two helpers would catch 900 snakes. It would be a fair take if they got 900 feet of 

 skins. All captured at night except for rattlers and kings. Also stated that soft-shell turtles, gator tail 

 and rattlesnake fillets are eaten.
