Book Description
Excerpt from Catalogue of the Tortoises, Crocodiles, and Amphisbaenians: In the Collection of the British Museum The chief object of preparing the present Catalogue, has been to give at one view a complete Synopsis of all the specimens of Shielded Reptiles at present in the British Museum collection, and an account of the species known to exist in other collections, but which are at present desiderata to the British Museum, so as to enable travellers, collectors, and others, to assist in completing the national collection. For this purpose a synoptic description has been given of all the genera and species of the shielded reptiles at present known to exist in the different museums and private collections, and at the end of each description is added an enumeration, stating the state, age, country, and other peculiarities of each specimen of the kind in the Museum collection; or when the species is not at present in that collection, the museum in which it has been observed is added after the general habitat of the species. The different individuals of each species contained in the British Museum collection, are indicated by the letters a, b, c, &c. When the age of the specimen is not stated, it is to be understood that it is full grown, or nearly so; when otherwise, its state is marked immediately after the letter by which it is distinguished; and if the sexes are known, it is stated to be male or female. These particulars are followed by the habitat, which is given as particularly as the materials possessed by the Museum permit. Those specimens which have been presented to the Museum have the name of the donor marked immediately after the habitat.
