The scale countings refer mostly to the ventrals and subcaudals in snakes and were given especially in the text on the genus Coluber. In the diagnoses of the genus Lacerta no scutellation features were used then. This is apparently the first attempt of a schematic delinea- tion and description of body shields in herpetology. The same features were used also, without depictions, in the text of the 10th and 12th editions (1758 / 1766). his system was a relatively superficial morphological one, because he accepted also some (morphologically) conspic- uously different species besides his «L. muralis», like Lac- erta taurica (now within Podarcis), or Lacerta chloro- gaster (now within Darevskia). This was one of Boulenger's rare mistakes in which, soon later, the her- petologists of this time did not follow his exceptional au- thority. Mertens & Miiller (1928) adopted Boulenger's (1920) Eu- ropean subgenera (Archaeolacerta, Podarcis, Zootoca, Lacerta), but they did not diverge in substance from the species concept of Mehely (1909) and Schreiber (1912). They were the first to accept geographical subspecies (see Wermuth in Bohme 1981), a trinominal nomenclature in European herpetology ( «Lacerta agilis exigua
