Pleistocene Herpetological Localities

Localities in countries in the Geographic Divisions below arc numbered to correspond with those in the taxonomic accounts in Chapter 4. Figure 40 is an artists concept of some Pleistocene herpetological species and extinct mammals at the Shropham Pit Locality (Interglacial Component), Norfolk, England (Britain: Upper Pleistocene Site 10). Countries are arranged in divisions from west to cast, and from north to south when possible. Oceanic islands are listed under the country to which they belong. Malta is included with Italy because of its important Pleistocene herpetofauna and proximity to Sicily and Italy…. I. Northwest Division: Ireland and Britain, p. 130 II. French Division: France and Monaco, p. 142 III. Southwest Division: Spain, p. 149 IV. Northcentral Division: Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, p. 157 V. Northeast Division: Poland and the Czech Republic, p. 175 VI. Southeast Division: Italy, Hungary, Yugoslavia: (Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia), and Greece, p. 182… Pleistocene herpetofaunal records in Ireland are rare and consist mainly of records of Rana temporaria. More work needs to be done in this critical area for the study of the fragmentation of ranges of herpetological species in the Pleistocene.
