Vol. 41, pp. 53-60 March 16. 1928 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF WASH. MUSE} THE HERPETOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS MADE IN HAITI AND ITS ADJOINING ISLANDS BY WALTER J. EYERDAM. BY DORIS M. COCHRAN. From June to October, 1927, Dr. Thomas Barbour of the Museum of Comparative Zoology employed the services of Mr. Walter J. Eyerdam, who made collections at several regions on the mainland of Haiti and who extended his efforts by visiting Grand Cayemite Island and by traversing the little-known Gonave Island, both lying a few miles off the Haitian Coast. That his efforts were distinctly worth while may be seen in the three species new to science which he secured. It is to be hoped that further careful collecting may soon be done in these islands, the fauna of which merits still greater atten-tion than it has yet received. Of the total of 210 specimens, 53 came from Gonave Island and 11 from Grande Cayemite Island, the number of species known from each of these islands being considerably enlarged. A tabular list of the entire collection is given. The numerals after each locality stand for the number of individuals taken at that place. The specimens are now in the Museum of Com-parative Zoology at Cambridge, Massachusetts. 13— Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., Vol. 41, 1928. (63)
