Herpetology of Glen Canyon of the Upper Colorado River Basin
Tanner WW. 1958. Herpetology of Glen Canyon of the Upper Colorado River Basin. Herpetologica. 14(4):193-195
This is a pre-dam list of reptiles and amphibians of the Glen Canyon area, with many of the observations from a time of relatively little human activity in this region. The records included are only those from the immediate river canyon and areas close to it, excluding the mountains and high plateaus in the vicinity. Many of the subspecies noted are endemic to the area. A footnote mentions Woodbury's list, but says it is incomplete (having only 19 of the 28 species and subspecies known), and some of the taxonomy is out of date.
