specimens under their care. We thank them for these privileges and 
other kindnesses. Lauren Seymour compiled Figure 2. John E. Pagels 
assisted in many of the collections, and Donald Young provided many 
helpful comments on the habitat component of the study. John F. 
Pagels’s efforts were supported by the Scholarly Leave Program of 
Virginia Commonwealth University and the Non-game Wildlife and 
Endangered Species Program of the Virginia Commission of Game and 
Inland Fisheries. We are grateful to Darelyn Handley and Donald 
Young for constructive criticism of the manuscript.
