Abstract
This paper presents the analysis of three works by three authors (Linnaeus, Vandellius and Kalm) published in 1761 that contain classifications of amphibians and reptiles. The nomenclatural status of the herpetological nomina in these works, particularly regarding their availability and taxonomic allocation, is clarified.
