Introduction
Since publication of the Zoological Catalogue (Cogger et al. 1983), many additional species of reptiles have been added to the Australian fauna (more than 1000 species now listed) and many taxonomic re-assignments have been proposed. Those affecting reptiles have been incorporated into the current revision.
