Fig. 12. William G in A History Of Herpetology At The American Museum Of Natural History

Fig. 12. William G. Hassler (on left) with John King's older son in the Dominican Republic, 1929 or 1930. (King was a Dominican contact who facilitated and assisted in AMNH fieldwork starting with Noble's 1922 expedition.) Hassler, the most valuable of Noble's assistants, worked in Herpetology for 13 years (1924–1937). He spent a substantial amount of his time on Noble's field projects, from New Jersey to the West Indies. AMNH Photographic Archives 287535.

Fig. 25 in A History Of Herpetology At The American Museum Of Natural History

Fig. 25. Mary Dickerson's American Giant Salamander Group (Cryptobranchus). Although the problem of showing animals underwater had been solved in the Bullfrog Group, the casting of these flaccid salamanders out of water posed still another difficulty. Group finished in 1912; photograph taken in 1925. AMNH Photographic Archives 310930.

Fig. 35 in A History Of Herpetology At The American Museum Of Natural History

Completed diorama photographed in May 1925, before placement of glass front. AMNH Photographic Archives 310960.

FIG, 1. John William Daly (1933–2008) on the upper Río San Juan. This paper is dedicated to John Daly, our late friend and colleague, who helped collect three of the new species here described. In addition to his globally acclaimed discoveries in chemistry and pharmacology, John was an accomplished field herpetologist who contributed importantly to the systematics and natural history of dendrobatoid frogs (see Grant et al., 2006; Myers, 2009). This photograph shows John at age 37, with the upper Río San Juan behind him and branches overhead of a madroño tree (probably Garcinia magnifolia, syn. Rheedia chocoensis, Clusiaceae). When in South America, John was never far from a dendrobatid frog—this time, in the tree above his head, a tiny, undescribed semiarboreal species (also collected and later named "Dendrobates fuguritus" by our colleague Philip Silverstone). Other dendrobatids found nearby included Phyllobates aurotaenia (Boulenger, 1913), which was then being used for poisoning blowgun darts, and also the nontoxic species that we name Silverstoneia dalyi herein. (Photograph by C. W. Myers, 2 km above Playa de Oro, Chocó, February 16, 1971.) in Review of the Frog Genus Silverstoneia, with Descriptions of Five New Species from the Colombian Chocó (Dendrobatidae: Colostethinae)
