"Type specimens of amphibians and reptiles in the Museum of Natural History, the University of Kansas" by William E. Duellman is a scientific catalog from the early 1960s that meticulously documents 125 different types of amphibians and reptiles kept at the University of Kansas' Museum of Natural History. The book spotlights holotypes and paratypes mainly gathered from Costa Rica, providing key details like catalog numbers, precise collection sites, who found them, and when they were discovered. The publication also takes time to correct earlier mistakes about specimen identification and where they were located, which helps make herpetological research more precise, and is an important reference work for experts, solidifying the importance of the University of Kansas' collection to the study of amphibians and reptiles.
