De Lisles (2009) conclusion that specimens RMNH 3176a, b were already present in the Leiden museum in the early 1840s, probably due to the low accession number, is also incorrect because the RMNH collection numbers were not allocated chronologically (E. Gassó-Miracle, pers. comm.). According to a note in the catalogue by the former curator of herpetology at the Leiden Museum, Rinus Hoogmoed, “numbers up to ca. RMNH 3760 are classified systematically, higher numbers irregular. Up to that it concerns animals received up to ca. 1866. From RMNH 3760 irregular with older specimens (1837) and newer (1872, 1877). I think that from the end of the 1860's, beginning 1870's (RMNH 3881 and further) it seems that specimens were classified on receiving date” (R. de Ruiter, pers. comm.).
