Abstract
When Colonel Davis made his offer I didn't pay it much attention. No more collecting trips south of the border. While I loved Mexico and fieldwork there, it was all over now, ending in a dissertation on one hundred animals: the frogs, salamanders, snakes, and lizards found at the edge of the tropics in eastern Mexico. Puzzles about distributions of such animals led to questions that could better be tackled by studying fossils than by rummaging around in the Sierra Madre. I had another life to live.
