Description
Summary:The dates of publications of the Proceedings and the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal are discussed. Several names of amphibians and reptiles were proposed, along with brief descriptions, by W. T. Blanford and F. Stoliczka in the monthly Proceedings before their intended formal description in the Journal, in some cases, a year before. These earlier publications constitute formal descriptions according to the Code of Zoological Nomenclature. A listing of two genera (one amphibian and one reptile) and 24 species (three amphibians and 21 reptiles) is appended; the type localities include Turkmenistan, Pakistan, India, Myanmar and Malaysia.
