Excerpt from Report of the Provincial Museum of Natural History: For the Year 1936 The first attempt to catalogue the reptiles and amphibians occurring within the boundaries Of the Province of British Columbia was that Of John Keast Lord in the appendix to his The Naturalist in Vancouver Island and British Columbia, published in In this. He names sixteen species. Unfortunately, Lord was notoriously careless concerning geographic location and his records have to be discounted accordingly. In 1898 John Fan-nin, in A Preliminary Catalogue of the Collections of Natural History and Ethnology in the Provincial Museum, lists eight reptilian species and subspecies and seven amphibian species as included in the fauna of the Province. N 0 further attempt was made to catalogue our amphibians and reptiles until that Of Logier in 1932, in which twenty-eight species and subspecies are listed. While much of British Columbia is still terra incognita in so far as knowledge of our vertebrate fauna is concerned, most Of the least - known territory lies north of latitudes favourable for habitation by reptiles and amphibians. Particularly is this true with regard to reptile-s. For these the northernmost record is but a few minutes north of the 5-3rd parallel. Accordingly, while it is realized that future collecting will extend. Our knowledge of the distribution of many forms, and perhaps add a few new names to the list, it is thought that a summation of our knowledge to date, while making no claims to finality, may serve to stimulate investigation.
