Systematic list - part 26: Reptiles and Amphibians
Most of these were not identified in the field but I have attempted to identify them from photos using various online sources. As with anything else, please contact me if I have got any wrong! So far I haven't found the online sources very helpful when it comes to turtles so most of these are still missing names - any help filling the gaps would be most welcome.
