[From Introduction] In the spring of 1931 and again in 1932, I had occasion to join a group of power company officials on inspection trips to Hoover Dam. Although little time was available for actual collecting, and the weather was unfortunately inclement on both trips, it was possible to make some herpetological observations, premised principally on specimens collected by the roadside or auto casualties on the highway.... In the following notes the localities are identified by counties, but, to avoid repetition, the names of the states have been omitted.
