INTRODUCTION

CHECK LIST of North American Amphibians and

Reptiles has long been wished for by all students of
American Herpetology. This list has been prepared gen-
erally upon the lines of the American Ornithologists’ Union
Check List of Birds, and following that example, it has in-
cluded the species and subspecies which the authors deem
valid! and of certain occurrence in North America, north of
the Rio Grande, and in Lower California, Mexico. Miller’s
List of North American Land Mammals (Bull. U. S. Nat.
Mus., No. 79, 1912) has also been a valued guide.

This volume is the result of lists begun some years ago
independently by both authors. The arrangement is on
the following system: The higher groups and genera are
in systematic sequence, the species are in alphabetic order.
No attempt is m ide to give synonyms. Species not listed
are believed to be invalid. The citation of original appear-
ance of names is given for all except such (e. g., family
names) as are formed automatically. Following the citation
of the original description of each species comes the place of
first appearance of the name in its pfesent combination —
accurate in so far as we have been able to determine. Refer-
ences are added to Cope’s North American Batrachia and
to his Crocodilians, Lizards, and Snakes of North America.
Both are frequently erratic and inaccurate, but large and
excellent portions of both works are to a great extent from
the pen of S. F. Baird, as painstaking an investigator
as this country has produced. These monographs are in

1 By this statement it is not meant that the authors in all cases have verified the status of a number
of more recently established forms by critical study. The judgment of reliable workers has been
accepted where no special reason appeared to contraindicate the validity of the form. As for the ad-
mission of subspecies — or rather trinominal designation — for certain forms no special attempt has
been made at consistency, the authors on principle leaning towards binominals in all cases where the

need of trinominals has not been clearly established.

widespread use, and constitute the most recent attempts
toward complete lists. In the case of the difficult genus
Thamnophis references are given to Ruthven’s excellent
review. Common names for reptiles and amphibians are
in great confusion, and are often of generic rather than of
specific application. No attempt is made to recognize any
except those which are in well-established usage. The host
which have been recently coined by various writers are fre-
quently inapt and almost surely unlikely to survive. It is
entirely possible that some vernacular names really often
used have escaped our notice, since many are in restricted
local use. The type localities are as nearly exact as it is
possible to determine. This cannot be said regarding the
ranges. Many are obviously faulty, but a sincere attempt
has been made to collect records of authentic captures; how-
ever, with a literature so extensive and so scattered, records
have almost surely been overlooked. In many cases, our
knowledge does not warrant drawing hard and fast lines de-
limiting a form’s occurrence, and we often state ranges Mm
purposely general terms. ‘There still is opportunity for
valuable field work to determine the precise distribution of
many of our most common species. An example is the recent
discovery that Virginia valeriae is far from rare in parts of
New Jersey.

Our hearty thanks are due to many for information and
advice, especially to Samuel Henshaw, John Van Denburgh,
and Alex. G. Ruthven.

G. K. Noble has assisted considerably in verifying refer-
ences and searching literature, and for this assistance he has
our grateful remembrance.

examine the type, if it still exists at Dorpat or Rostock, it seems better to consider this allocation
only provisional, in view of the fact that the figure in the Zoologisches Atlas is not very similar to the
Ambystoma. We do not, however, include it in the list.

1 There is no evidence that Baird ever described this species which is generally credited to him.
Cope (Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1869, p. 100) mentions it as a variety of Plethodon cinereus, thus,
“Var. y. dorsalis, Baird, M.S. 3776. Louisville, Ky.; Salem, Mass.” This reference is a nomen nudum
pure and simple.

2 Green described this species and also named the synonymous erythronotus upon the same page.
It therefore remained for the first reviser to fix the correct name for the species. This Tschudi did
in 1888.

was a composite species, part of the wording which Linné intended to use in characterizing the black-
snake and the hog-nose snake having been combined under constrictor. Thus the scale counts 130-
40 refer to the hog-nose, the first words ‘‘ Habitat in Canada, Kalm,” refer to the black. Then we
read ‘‘ Mazillae aper simus triqueter,” obviously the hog-nose again. Lastly comes an abbreviated
extract of Kalm’s account of the black snakes’ habits “ Adoritur homines circum pedes sese convolvens,
sed innocuus.”” Consequently, Coluber constrictor of 1758 being a composite species, Linné, in 1766,
exercised his prerogative as first reviser to correct this error. So that in the twelfth edition (p. 386)
we find the black snake correctly diagnosed, using much of the same wording as was used in 1758,
with the name constrictor applied; while on p. 873 we find the hog-nose renamed — contortriz — and
assigned to the genus Boa. The description fits the hog-nose snake accurately, again part of the early
diagnosis being repeated and reference is also made to Catesby’s plate figuring this species. This,
renders the name contortriz untenable for the Copperhead.
