	Chrono-Biographical Sketch: John Van Denburgh
		John Van Denburgh did relatively little work (beyond, perhaps, his studies on the gila monster) that would recommend his name to posterity, but in his time he was known as a careful and industrious researcher, and as an administrator of considerable talent.
		Under his guidance the herpetology collection at the California Academy of Sciences became internationally known, and even after the San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906 entirely destroyed it, he built it right back up again, from scratch.
		Beyond his duties as a curator Van Denburgh involved himself in an array of natural history studies on reptiles and amphibians (and some on birds); these efforts led to the production of over a hundred taxonomically- and regional/geographic-oriented publications.

		We now know that Van Denburgh's 1895 review of Baja California herpetology was very incomplete, but it served as a starting point on which others could build.
		John Van Denburgh's 1922 Reptiles of Western North America considered species from Baja California and some of the islands in the Sea of Cortés but excluded the amphibian fauna.
		Other works concerning large segments of Baja California's herpetofauna were mostly island checklists (Van Denburgh 1905; Van Denburgh and Slevin 1914, 1921a; Cliff 1954a,b; Soulé and Sloan 1966; Savage 1967; Bostic 1975; Wilcox 1980; Murphy and Ottley 1984, Grismer 1993, 1999b, 2001a), none of which treated simultaneously the Pacific and Gulf islands.
