biologists including R. Hanitsch, J. C. Moulton, F. N. Chasen and M. W. F. Tweedie. Name-bearing types
of some of the older specimens appeared in papers authored by M. A. Smith and W. Hennig, among others.
In the catalogue of herpetological types compiled here, types ofseven amphibian and 13 reptile species are
indicated, comprising a total of 48 type material (nine holotypes, 27 paratypes and 12 syntypes). |
