"NATURAL HISTORY OF REPTILES BY BUFFON"
The book published in Year 10 of the French Republican Calendar (circa 1802), is part of a comprehensive series on natural history. This volume, written by F. M. Daudin and building on the foundational work of Leclerc de Buffon, was edited by C. S. Sonnini, a member of several learned societies. It provides detailed descriptions and classifications of reptiles, contributing significantly to the scientific understanding of herpetology during the early 19th century. This work continues the extensive natural history series initiated by Buffon.
