REMARK

Duméril & Bibron (1839: 654), Brygoo (1985) and Ineich & Zug (1991) cite Cocteau (1836), Études sur les ScincoÏdes as source for this name.We checked four exemplars of the Études sur les ScincoÏdes of Cocteau where species of skinks have been described in detail. In fact, only the first part of the book, which was intended to have about 20-25 parts, was published before the death of the author ( Anonymous 1838a, b). There is mention of the printing of a second part ( Anonymous 1838b: 257) and we found a copy including the title page of the part mentionning Ire Tribu. Scincoides saurophthalmes. Ire Genre. Scinques. IIe Section. Lépidoglosses conopsides. Ier Groupe. Tiliguas, but neither Tiliqua lessonii nor Tiliqua kienerii are mentioned in the available part. Thus, for the moment there is no indication that these nomina were published by Cocteau under the requirements of the Code. Gabriel Bibron should have received the manuscript ( Anonymous 1838a) but it is not available in the libraries of MNHN.
