3 INTRODUCTION The herpetological literature on the Puerto Rican-Virgin Island area is extensive and scattered, with many papers appearing in obscure, easilyoverlooked journals. The authors have spent considerable time and effort ferreting out this literature. The present bibliography is offered in order to save the large and ever-growing number of herpetologists interested in this region from having to duplicate such effort. This list is comprehensive, though probably incomplete. Literature was intensively scanned through 1973; less concentrated efforts have yielded several more recent references. It is hoped that as literature overlooked by the present authors is discovered, and as new literature appears, other investigators will take it upon themselves to bring the bibliography up to date by contributing periodic supplements. In some cases rather peripheral papers have been included if in addition to the central topic they embody discussion of Puerto Rican reptiles or amphibians. In some cases a note indicating the nature of the reference to Puerto Rican species is appended in parentheses. Amaral, A. do Lista remissiva dos ophidios da regiao neotropica. Mem. Inst.
