Looking East : Carolus Linnaeus and His Herpetological Species from Asia

Linnaean names based on material from Asia, indicated as from “Oriente”, “Indiis” or extralimital areas, are reviewed. This material, representing 31 species names and 29 recognizable biological species, can be restricted geographically to one of three regions—Sri Lanka, southern Malay Peninsula, or...
