Morphological Variation in a Population of the Snake, Tantilla gracilis Baird and Girard

About the author

Laurence M. Hardy appears in scientific sources as Laurence McNeil Hardy, an American herpetologist. Wikispecies lists him as affiliated with the Museum of Natural History at the University of Kansas and credits him with taxonomic work on reptiles, including publications from the 1960s.

Available book and catalog pages also connect his name with later regional reference works on amphibians and reptiles, suggesting a career centered on field study, identification, and documentation. Based on the sources I could confirm, his reputation rests on careful natural-history research rather than broad popular writing.
