Reptiles, amphibians, and fishes collected by N.A. Sarudni on her second journey to Persia in 1898

The second journey of N.A. Sarudni to the east of Persia was even more intersting than the first one because of its results.

This time she went into the south up to the Persian Baluchistan.¹ In her collection can be found a large number of Indian forms.

A comparable route of this journey was published in the yearly publishing of the Zoological Museum in 1898.
