Selected Records of Reptiles and Amphibians
from Kansas
By
JOHN BREUKELMAN AND HOBART M. SMITH
Preparation of a handbook of reptiles and amphibians by the junior
author has led to a survey of the collections of these animals at Kansas
State Teachers College in Emporia. Numerous locality records of interest
and importance have been accumulated there through the efforts of the
senior author and a number of his students, particularly Mr. Allen
Downs. The more important records, including the first record for Kansas
of _Rana sylvatica_, are reported here. We have not mentioned specimens
that are from counties from which the University of Kansas Museum of
Natural History already has specimens.
Specimens examined by Smith are indicated by an asterisk *; those
identified by the late Dr. F. N. Blanchard are indicated by an encircled
period # (none of these specimens are now available). All other
specimens here recorded have been examined either by the senior author
or by Mr. Allen Downs, or by both. Specimen numbers, unless otherwise
indicated, are those of the Kansas State Teachers College collection.
#Triturus viridescens louisianensis# (Wolterstorff), Newt.--_Cherokee
Co._: 1 mile north and 4 miles east of Crestline (No. 164).* This is a
terrestrial adult, and provides the second known locality for the
species in the state.
#Ambystoma texanum# (Matthes), Narrow-mouthed Salamander.--_Lyon Co._:
Emporia.
#Ambystoma tigrinum mavortium# (Baird), Tiger Salamander.--_Lyon Co._:
(No. 292); 2 miles east of Americus. _Ness Co._: Ness City (No. 591).
