Abstract

In this paper, we present data about the herpetofauna of the Kornati islands, with special reference to Kornat and Žut, 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 Žut.
