You need Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to open these files. This index file has to be in the same directory (folder) as the pdf files otherwise the links won't work. Papers with more than 8 pages have been stored as 300 dpi images, all others as 400 dpi.
Not all the names used in these papers have been indexed in the Reptile Database. I am working on that. Help on the identification/assignment of synonyms is greatly appreciated.
It turned out to be difficult to convert these papers to text (using optical character recognition, OCR) due to printing quality and other reasons.
