THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS SGIENCE BULLETIN Vol. XXXI, pt. II.] November 1, 1947 [No. 17 A Bibliography of Mexican Amphibiology Bv EDWARD H TAYLOR NO COMPREHENSIVE bibliography dealing with the amphib-iology of Mexico has ever been published. The present wide interest in this subject practically demands that such a publication be made available to the numerous workers in this new field. For the past 15 years during my extensive work on Mexican faunas I have been collecting literature dealing with this particular subject, and the following annotated list of titles dealing with the amphibi-ology of Mexico is offered to fill this need. It is as complete as I have been able to make it for taxonomic works, but I feel that further research might reveal other titles of significance dealing with anatomy and physiology of Mexican species. It is possible that some of the titles listed, purporting to treat of the "Mexican axolotl," may actually not do so. However, in most cases the authors believed that the European bred stock of the axolotl was from species originating in Mexico. Certain of these papers have not been read by me. About fifty of the titles were added by Dr. Hobart M. Smith who had the kindness to read the manuscript and check the ref-erence. He has my heartfelt gratitude. ACKERMANN, J. 1933.
