Preliminary Note and Checklist of the Amphibians and Reptiles of the Severn Run Natural Environmental Area, Anne Arundel County,Maryland

摘要

The Severn Run Natural Environmental Area (Figure 1.,Center), is located in Northern Anne Arundel County, Maryland. It is well known for many rare plant and bird species including the Hartford Fern also called the Climbing Fern, Lygodium palmalum (Bernh.), while uncommon elsewhere, is rather abundant here. My main observations on the amphibians and reptiles have been from road driving both, morning and evening, since 1986. Severn Run itself has been sampled on numerous occasions. The list provided here, also includes the area immediately adjacent, to the Severn Run Natural Environmental Area.
