The great voyages of discovery of the 15th to 18th centuries had brought to Europe enormous masses of new plant and animal species... and into most of the 19th century, Paris was the center for herpetological studies" (S. Haines Slithy Toves.ÂIllustrated classic Herpetological books at the University of Kansas,Âp.72).
