Smith, Hobart M. A report upon amphibians hitherto unknown from Kansas. Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science 35():93-96
First report of Eurycea spelaea, Eurycea longicauda, Lithobates clamitans, and Lithobates palustris in Kansas from specimens collected in Cherokee County. The subsequent discovery of Lithobates clamitans in Miami County is also reported. The field studies took place in the spring of 1931 and from 3-5 April 1932 and collections made by various individuals in each expedition. Of particular note is the statement that "All were collected at various localities about three to five miles north of Baxter Springs near the Spring River. Many specimens from these surveys are labeled (3-5 miles north of Baxter Springs) and without reference to the Spring River, which takes an easterly and then north north easterly course approximately two miles north of Baxter Springs (at Riverton). The stated locality is actually low flat farm ground and pasture along Brush Creek (well outside the Ozark Plateau) and not as Smith describes the site in 1932 (... situated in moderately heavily wooded, hilly region). Subsequent reviewers remarked (among themselves) that perhaps the locality on the labels should have been 'east' instead of 'north', however Smith's op cit. remarks do help in that they place the collections in suitable habitat.

Brumwell, Malcolm J. Distributional records of the reptilia and amphibians of Kansas. Privately printed, . 22pp.
County dot maps of the Kansas herpetofauna. This work has been attributed to have been written around 1933, but that may be in error. Hypsiglena jani was not known from Kansas until Claude W. Hibbard collected three specimens on the Stevenson Ranch in north-central Clark County (above Clark State Lake) during June 1936 (Hibbard, 1937). Brumwell plotted this locality, which leads me to believe that the 1936 would have been the earliest date this manuscript could have been written.
