Abstract

In this paper, we present data about the herpetofauna of the Kornati islands, with special reference to Kornat and @ut, collected during several field trips in 2009. Together with the personal comments from our colleagues and literature data, 1 amphibian and 11 reptile species were recorded on the islands. There is a possibility that Emys orbicularis is now extinct from the island of Kornat, as well as that Testudo hermanii has been introduced on the island of @ut.
