USNM Curators Annual Report - Department of Reptiles, 1889-1890

In 1889 while repairs in basement of the United States National Museum were underway, specimens from the Department of Reptiles were temporarily moved to the Smithsonian Building's south tower. Acting curator Leonhard Stejneger carefully supervised the move and took advantage of the move to re-examine the collection records. Please help us transcribe his departmental reports to learn more about what he uncovered and the new species that were identified due to the collections' relocation.
