EtymologyNamed after Dr. Charles Earle Burt (1904-1963), American herpetologist. He took his bachelor's degree at Kansas State Agricultural College, and his master's degree (1927) and doctorate (1930) at the University of Michigan. He worked at the American Museum of Natural History (1929-1930) and taught at Trinity College, Waxahachie, Texas (1930-1931), and at Southwestern College, Winfield, Kansas (1932-1944).
