A survey of the reptiles of Harris County, Texas

A thorough understanding of the interrelationships of the animal groups necessitates much work on individual groups. In this paper an attest has been node to begin the work on the local reptiles. In the course of the work many collecting trips were made to various parts of the county. Most of these trips were fruitful and some information was gained from all of them. If time would permit this work should extend through the end of the present summer to complete the observations here begun.
