The Amphibians of Kansas

Abstract

The present work has largely as its object the bridging of the gap in the knowledge of the amphibians of the central plains region. For this reason, it is largely taxonomic and distributional, but, so far as possible, in most cases, complete life histories, based upon published accounts and upon observations of my own and associates, have been presented for each species. There are numerous features of the life histories of many of the amphibians of the state which are yet to be observed, and these are made known to the future worker, who may thus avoid unnecessary duplication of previous investigations.
