image for karl shmidti
Looking on Google, there are some other species named after him (lizard and snake, not just frog) and also images. Need to look for a free one or get a donation. (good catch on the frog pic, ugly pic anyhow.)TCO (talk) 19:22, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
Image of Karl P. Schmidt
There is an excellent image of Schmidt at flickr.com. It is a hand-colored photo taken in 1928 in Central or South America, which shows him with a live "two-toed sloth hanging on a stick". There used to be a black and white copy of this photo, on which Schmidt had written not only his autograph but also a quote from Goethe, hanging on the wall in the Section of Amphibians and Reptiles at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It probably was a gift from Schmidt to M. Graham Netting when they were both officers of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists.
If someone (with better computer skills than I have) could transfer this image to this WP article, it would be a great addition.98.111.224.50 (talk) 11:43, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
Fatal dose of venom?
Is there evidence of Schmidt believing that a juvenile boomslang could not deliver a fatal dose of venom besides a single, rather undetailed report? There was no boomslang antivenin available in North America at the time, and it strikes me as singularly unlikely that a herpetologist with four decades of experience and field work done on multiple continents would make so basic an error.
