The holotype and two paratypes of Rana taylori Smith are stated to be in the Museum of Natural History. Smith (Herpetologica, 15:214, December 8, 1959) proposed the name Rana taylori for three specimens discussed by Taylor (Univ. Kansas Sci. Bull., 35:906, July 1, 1952), who gave the numbers 2976-2978. Number 2978 was designated the holotype of Rana taylori by Smith, who never saw the frogs. The numbers 2976-2978 are E. H. Taylor’s field numbers; the specimens never have been catalogued in the Museum of Natural History, and their present location is unknown.
The 125 species and subspecies represented by holotypes and paratypes in the collection are distributed among the orders of amphibians and reptiles as follows:
| AMPHIBIA | |
| [Gymnophiona] (Caecilians) | 3 |
| [Caudata] (Salamanders) | 20 |
| [Salientia] (Frogs and Toads) | 39 |
| REPTILIA | |
| [Testudines] (Turtles) | 5 |
| [Sauria] (Lizards) | 31 |
| [Serpentes] (Snakes) | 27 |
