Walter Auffenberg Varanus literature

Greetings folks,

I am currently searching for published papers by Walter Auffenberg on Varanus komodoensis, V. olivaceus, V. bengalensis and V. flavescens. If you can send me electronic copies of any Auffenberg papers you may have, it would be much appreciated.

If you have printed copies and not digital files, you might be able to help me out as well. At the moment, all that I am searching for in these particular papers is which of his studies were funded by or supported by the New York Zoological Society. If you could give your Auffenberg papers a quick glance-over for me by just checking out the acknowledgments section at the end, and look to see if the NYZS is mentioned, that would be great.

Take care everyone, thanks in advance. Cheers!

I have a hard copy of Auffenberg (1976): First description of an adult Varanus grayi. Copeia, 1976(3):586-588 and it does mention a grant from the NYZS. I'll look around my files and see if anything else pops up.

Well, tearing through my files on those respective species I'm awed by how little Auffenberg literature I have. Curses!  Auffenberg also mentions financial support from the NYZS in his books on bengalensis and olivaceus.
