Fig. 26 in A History Of Herpetology At The American Museum Of Natural History
Fig. 26. Mary Dickerson's 1913 Lower California Group. Unlike her other major groups, Dickerson had to rely completely on other people for the specimens and ancillary habitat materials. She purposely exaggerated the diversity of lizards in a small area, but, characteristic of her groups, one has to look closely to find all the animals. AMNH Photographic Archives 34262.
Fig. 4 in A History Of Herpetology At The American Museum Of Natural History
Fig. 4. The second known authenticated photograph of Mary Cynthia Dickerson. This picture clearly was taken during the same setting as the well-known portrait used in the frontispiece. Possibly taken ca. 1912, when she was in her mid-40s (see note 5 for dating). AMNH Dept. Herpetology Archives, courtesy of Mrs. Margaret D. Hopkins, Dickerson's niece.
Fig. 3 in A History Of Herpetology At The American Museum Of Natural History
Fig. 3. Stella Risley Clemence (1882–1966), first Assistant to Mary C. Dickerson. Miss Clemence performed important work especially in organizing the herpetological collections during 1913–1915. She eventually became a Hispanic manuscript specialist in the Library of Congress, where she was one of the world's leading authorities on early Spanish manuscripts concerning the colonization of Mexico and Peru (see Clemence, 1932, 1936). This photograph probably was taken in 1910, when she graduated from Pembroke College (Brown University). AMNH Dept. Herpetology Archives.
Fig. 37 in A History Of Herpetology At The American Museum Of Natural History
Fig. 37. The push-button rattlesnake, introduced into the Hall of Reptile and Amphibian Life in 1931. A handwritten page found with the draft of that year's annual report states that the ''mechanical rattlesnake... was made possible by the ingenuity of Mr. Hassler.'' The snake was very popular and was still in operation when Richard Zweifel arrived at the Museum in 1954. Zweifel, however, grew to dislike the aging contraption, since a duty of the new Assistant Curator was to check it frequently to make certain that it was in working order. Photographed in 1934. AMNH Photographic Archives 117728.
Fig. 33 in A History Of Herpetology At The American Museum Of Natural History
Fig. 33. Florida Gopher Turtle Group. Dickerson had started this group by 1917, but it was finished by Noble for the New Hall of Reptile and Amphibian Life. This photograph was taken in 1924 before the group was glassed over; the finished case can be glimpsed in figure 32, behind the giant tortoise. AMNH Photographic Archives 310697.
Fig. 2 in A History Of Herpetology At The American Museum Of Natural History
Fig. 2. Another view of Bashford Dean, who planned and installed a collection of armor at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met's collection of arms and armor was founded partly on Dean's private collection). During World War I, Major Dean served (1917–1918) in the U.S. Ordnance Service and was engaged in developing improved helmets and other special body armor. He also was a specialist on armored fish. Undated photograph, copied from Gregory (1930: pl. 5).
Fig. 32 in A History Of Herpetology At The American Museum Of Natural History
Fig. 32. The New Hall of Reptile and Amphibian Life in November 1928, nearly a year and a half after its opening. The arrangement of floor cases seems to match the floor plan in figure 31, except that a leatherback sea turtle has been added to face the entrance to the Hall. View is looking to the North. AMNH Photographic Archives 312542.
Fig. 40 in A History Of Herpetology At The American Museum Of Natural History
Fig. 40. Lure of the serpent: ''We be of one blood, thou and I'' (Rudyard Kipling). For some 40 years in the old Reptile Hall, this king cobra stared down a mongoose that was crouched behind a stone ''apparently realizing his inability to cope with this enormous serpent'' (Noble, 1927j). Relieved of the pesky mongoose, this venerable snake has spent recent decades in silent communication with admiring visitors in the newest Reptile Hall. Photographs are from 1977. AMNH Photographic Archives 67094, 67095.
Fig. 21 in A History Of Herpetology At The American Museum Of Natural History
Fig. 21. The oldest surviving Herpetology exhibit: ''Copperheads in the Palisades [New Jersey],'' a study from life circa 1905. This small group was first mentioned in the AMNH Annual Report for 1905. However, according to Mary Dickerson's internal departmental report dated March 13, 1911, the snakes had ''turned black, apparently 'gone bad' from the use of too much glycerine in the preparation.'' The original snakes were replaced in 1911 by these exquisitely painted wax casts (the tongues may be glass), which were posed exactly to replace the older specimens. This floor exhibit became case no. 12 in the 1927 Hall of Reptile and Amphibian Life (see fig. 31); it is the only one of the older cases not dismantled over the years. Photographed in the Department of Herpetology by Denis Finnin, November 1998.
Fig. 16 in A History Of Herpetology At The American Museum Of Natural History
Fig. 16. Gareth Nelson, who chaired an administratively merged Department of Herpetology and Ichthyology from July 1, 1987, through June 1993. Nelson was the second ichthyologist to head a combined department, reminiscent of his predecessor of yore, Bashford Dean (fig. 2). Herpetology and Ichthyology were again separated in 1997. Photograph by Gary Grimaldi, 1994.
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. 36 in A History Of Herpetology At The American Museum Of Natural History
Fig. 36. The tuatara (Sphenodon) of New Zealand, showing the reptile at rest in the burrow of a nesting sea bird (Pink-footed Shearwater). An exhibit planned by Mary Dickerson in 1916, but finished by Noble in 1925. AMNH Photographic Archives 311225.
Fig. 45 in A History Of Herpetology At The American Museum Of Natural History
Fig. 45. Global coverage for the herpetology holdings as depicted in annual reports. Top: G. K. Noble's estimation of holdings in the Museum's published report for 1923. Bottom: Origin of herpetological specimens accessioned during 1963–1969, prepared by R. G. Zweifel for the Department of Herpetology archival report for 1968–1969 (numbered localities corresponded to a list of accessions for that fiscal year alone).
Fig. 28 in A History Of Herpetology At The American Museum Of Natural History
Fig. 28. Detail of the 1914 Toad Group, showing tree frogs (Hyla versicolor) in the foreground. AMNH Photographic Archives 34592.
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
Fig. 35. Galápagos Island Group, showing both marine iguanas (Amblyrhynchus) and land iguanas (Conolophus). This diorama was commenced in 1923; materials were obtained for the Department by Harrison Williams and William Beebe of the New York Zoological Society (Noble, 1924i). Completed diorama photographed in May 1925, before placement of glass front. AMNH Photographic Archives 310960.
Fig. 1 in A History Of Herpetology At The American Museum Of Natural History
Fig. 1. Bashford Dean (1867–1928), first Curator (Head) of the American Museum's old Department of Ichthyology and Herpetology, and also concurrently Curator of Arms and Armor at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Photograph from ca. 1918. AMNH Photographic Archives 312546.
