This was published in "The Naturalist's Miscellany" in 1799.After realising that the name "platypus" had already been given to a group of beetles, Shaw assigned it the scientific name of Ornithorhynchus anatinus, the first word of which means "bird-like snout". However, the original name of platypus was adopted as the common name, rather than the word "duckbill", which had also begun to be used.The word platypus is from the Greek platypous, meaning "flat-footed": from platys "broad, flat" + pous "foot."It is incorrect to call this animal a duckbilled platypus.
