Item Fossil Chiroptera collected by H.E. Anthony in Jamaica, 1919-1920. American Museum novitates ; no. 1519(New York : American Museum of Natural History, 1951) Koopman, Karl F.; Williams, Ernest E. (Ernest Edward); Anthony, H. E. (Harold Elmer), 1890-1970.; Anthony Jamaica Expedition (1919-1920)"The foregoing account has, in terms of described forms, not added any radical novelties to the West Indian faunal picture. Tonatia saurophila occurs as a Jamaican endemic, the genus being unknown elsewhere in the Antilles, and is quite comparable to the Jamaican Oryzomys. The discovery of Brachyphylla and Natalus on Jamaica and the rediscovery of the phyllonycterine Reithronycteris round out a distributional pattern otherwise anomalous. Very interesting are the hints presented by the fossil material of faunal replacement, of successive invasions, and successive extinctions. The validity of this conception probably extends beyond the chiropteran order, but additional evidence is needed to translate the suggested picture into concrete terms not alone for Jamaica but for the other Antilles"--P. 27.Item Fossil lizards of the West Indian genus Aristelliger (Gekkonidae). American Museum novitates ; no. 1538(New York : American Museum of Natural History, 1951) Hecht, Max K., 1925-; Anthony, H. E. (Harold Elmer), 1890-1970.; Williams, Ernest E. (Ernest Edward); Koopman, Karl F.; Hecht, Bessie M.; Anthony Jamaica Expedition (1919-1920)Item An illustrated glossary of turtle skull nomenclature. American Museum novitates ; no. 2486(New York, N.Y. : American Museum of Natural History, 1972) Gaffney, Eugene S.; Parsons, Thomas Sturges, 1930-; Williams, Ernest E. (Ernest Edward)"Herein is presented a glossary of turtle skull terms based on the terminology standardized by Parsons and Williams. The glossary includes literature references, discussion, and figures for most of the terms. The figures are primarily of Chelydra serpentina"--P. [1].Item A new anoline lizard (Phenacosaurus) from the highland of Cerro de la Neblina, southern Venezuela. American Museum novitates ; no. 3070(New York, N.Y. : American Museum of Natural History, 1993) Myers, Charles W.; Williams, Ernest E. (Ernest Edward); McDiarmid, Roy W.Item A new fossil rodent from Puerto Rico. American Museum novitates ; no. 1515(New York : American Museum of Natural History, 1951) Williams, Ernest E. (Ernest Edward); Koopman, Karl F.; Thorp, James.Item A new fossil tortoise from Mona Island, West Indies, and a tentative arrangement of the tortoises of the world. Bulletin of the AMNH ; v. 99, article 9(New York : [American Museum of Natural History], 1952) Williams, Ernest E. (Ernest Edward); Anthony, H. E.

American Museum novitates ; no. 1782(New York, N.Y. : American Museum of Natural History, 1956) Williams, Ernest E. (Ernest Edward); Bassler, Harvey, 1883-1950.Item Testudo cubensis and the evolution of western hemisphere tortoises. Bulletin of the AMNH ; v. 95, article 1(New York : [American Museum of Natural History], 1950) Williams, Ernest E. (Ernest Edward)"One. †Testudo cubensis Leidy is redefined and redescribed. 2. A grouping and phylogeny of the New World testudines are attempted. 3. The species claticunea Cope, †praeextans Lambe, †obrevisterna Loomis, †vaga Hay, †iemiliae Hay, †pansa Hay, †rinusitata Hay, †edae Hay, †shollandi Hay, †undabuna Loomis, †amohavense Merriam, †copei Koerner, †turgida Cope, †riggsi Hibbard, †Mcampester Hay, †hexagonata Cope, †eocalana Hay, †incisa Hay, and †lhayi Sellards, formerly placed in the genus Testudo, are here allocated to Gopherus. The species †canyonensis Johnston, placed by its author in the monotypic genus †Bysmachelys, is also referred to Gopherus. †Hadrianus ?scucherti Hay is placed in the genus †Cymatholcus Clark. 4. Testudo cubensis is regarded as an early offshoot of a Central American stock that gave rise to the three living Neotropical tortoises. 5. Subgeneric separation is suggested for the Neotropical tortoises (including lcubensis) under the name Chelonoidis Fitzinger, 1835, and for the very distinct group of Nearctic tortoises typified by †T. osborniana under the name †Hesperotestudo, new subgenus. 6. The name †Bystra Hay, 1916, preoccupied by a genus of Hymenoptera, is replaced by †Floridemys, new name"--P. 32.Item Variation and selection in the cervical central articulations of living turtles.
