ON SOME AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES FROM THE STATE OF 
VERA CRUZ, MEXICO. 1 
ALEXANDER G. RUTHVEN. 
Through the kindness of t lie Director, Mr. Frederick J. V. Skiff, and 
the Assistant Curator, Dr. S. E. Meek, of the Field Museum of Natural 
History. I have recently been able to examine the amphibian and reptile 
material in that institution that has been received from the southern 
part of the State of Vera Cruz, Mexico. The principal value of this 
collection is in the additional locality records that it gives, and the 
following list has been prepared for the purpose of making this data 
available to students of distribution. 
As the localities represented by the collection are mostly unrecorded 
on the maps it is necessary to give their situations. With three excep- 
tions they are small villages along the Vera Cruz al Istmo Railroad,, 
the northern terminals of which are Cordoba and Vera Cruz, the south- 
ern Santa Lucrecia on the Isthmus of Teliaun tepee. This railroad runs 
rather directly southeast from Cordoba to Santa Lucrecia, and the Vera 
Cruz branch from Vera Cruz to Tierra. Blanco, so that the location of the 
stations can be given conveniently in kilometers from the terminals.
