Abstract:

While stationed for an eight month period with the Army Air Forces at Mountain Home, Idaho, I had the opportunity to study the herpetology of various parts of Elmore County, north and south of Mountain Home, from the Snake River in the south to the higher mountains in the north. Mountain Home is about 50 miles southeast of Boise, Idaho, on U. S. Highway 30. This area is more or less a rolling plateau, with many rocky outcroppings, with an average elevation of about 3000 feet. There is very little tree, growth, the primary vegetation being sagebrush, with scrub willows along the temporary stream courses. Notes on the various species follow.
