About the author
T. Paul Maslin, also listed as Thomas Paul Maslin, Jr. (1909–1984), was a U.S. herpetologist associated with the University of Colorado Boulder. Sources describe him as part of the Department of Biology and Museum there, and the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History credits him, along with Hobart M. Smith, as one of the major architects of its largest vertebrate collection.
His published work centered on reptiles, especially whiptail lizards and other members of the genus Cnemidophorus. Catalogs and bibliographic listings connect his name with works such as A Checklist of the Lizard Genus Cnemidophorus and other taxonomic and distribution studies, including a Project Gutenberg listing for a coauthored paper on the garter snake Thamnophis sirtalis.
Maslin also appears in the wider history of herpetology as a mentor and professional leader. A Wikipedia entry on Clarence John McCoy identifies Maslin as McCoy’s Ph.D. supervisor at Colorado, and the Herpetologists' League lists him among its past presidents. No suitable confirmed portrait image was available from the pages I checked, so I’ve left the profile image blank.
