Abstract

The collecting of the herpetological fauna of the county seems to have begun about 90 years ago. DeKay (1842) mentions no definite collections, but a few years later, from 1853-62, A. Mayor and others were sending specimens of salamanders, frogs, snakes, and turtles to Professor Agassiz at Harvard. These specimens are preserved in the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Cambridge. Eckel and Paulmier (1902), however, do not cite specific records from the county.
