The reptiles were from the outset of classification grouped with the amphibians. Linnaeus, working from specie's Sweden, where thecommon adder and grass snake are often found hunting in water, included all reptiles and amphibians in class "III -- Amphibious" in his System's Nature.[1] The terms "reptile" and "amphibian" were largely interchangeable, "reptile" (from Latin rep ere, "to creep") being preferred by the French.[2] Josephus Nickolaus Laurenti was the first to formally use the term "Reptilia" for an expanded selection of reptiles and amphibians basically similar to that of Linnaeus.[3] It is today stil common to treat the two groups under the same heading as herptiles.
