A PARIS, Sehe UZE, ruede la Harpe, ä h Sphere, Chez < ET 'Daniel Horthemels , ruc de la Harpe, au Mecenas. M. DC. LXXXVI. TJR ORDRE EXPREZ DE SA MAjESTE'. Fig. 16: Title page of Guy Tachard'S Voyage de Siam (1686). Tachard published several of the Claudius reptile drawings for the first time. Image courtesy of the Linda Hall Library of Science, Engineering & Fig. 17: Plate from an unknown French book of the Eight- eenth Century. The illustrations of KOLB (1719; Fig. 4) have been redrawn and supplemented by "le Cerastes" from Tachard (1686; Fig. 13), itself derived form the original dra- wing of Claudius (Fig. 9). Another Geirnan illustrator of note was Johannes Schumacher, originally from Rodenburg (fide ROOK- MAAKER 1989; identity of this village is uncertain), who arrived in the Cape as a soldier in 1770. Schumacher prepared watercolors for Hendrik Swellengrebel, who visited the Cape during 1776-1777 and later illustrated the Gordon Atlas (Hallema 1951; Forbes 1965; Schutte 1982). The Gordon Atlas depicts zoological and other subjects observed or collected by Robert Jacob Gordon (1743-1795) during his explorations in southern Africa between 1777 and 1786 (Rookmaaker 1981; HowGEGO 2003). Rookmaaker (1980, 1989) reviewed the zoological drawings of Schumacher and identified the species he illustrated. Although GORDON himself noted a wide variety of reptiles in his accompanying journals, only some of the more conspicuous tortoises, lizards, and viperids were drawn by Schumacher: Chersina a/igulata, Psammohates tentorhis (Bell, 1828) (Fig. 18), Homopiis areolatus (Thunberg, 1787), Geoche- lone pardalis (Bell, 1828), Pelomedusa subrufa (Lacé- péde, 1788), Chamaeleo namaqiiensis, Bradypodion pumilwiu Agama atra Daudin, 1802, Agama hispida (Kaup, 1827), Varamts albigularis (Daudin, 1802), Bitis átropos
