Roger Conant's extensive field research 



included scientific studies published by the American 

 Museum of Natural History on the water snakes of 

 Mexico. A bond of affection and respect was forged 

 between Roger and his colleagues at the Museum 

 over the years. He recently left a generous bequest 

 to the Museum to further its work. It included cash, 

 specimens he began to send the Museum in the 

 6o's and more recent acquisitions of his field notes, 

 correspondence, hand-painted illustrations and his 

 original typewriter.
