The herpetology database of the National Museum of Namibia (NMNW) contains both amphibians and reptiles, but this portion of the database only includes the amphibians. The data is occurrence-type, consisting primarily of specimens collected during the last two centuries, primarily from Namibia. This database also contains some tissue samples and observational data. The initial publication of this dataset is only a part of the collections housed under herpetology at the NMNW, but will be added to periodically as additional records are digitised and cleaned, and/or as new specimens are collected. The GBIF database will eventually to reflect a near-complete replica of the amphibians portion of the NMNW herpetology collection database.
