Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I've been advised that there is an alleged publication called "Australian
Biodiversity Record" by Richard Wells naming some new herp taxa.
I asked Richard for originals but none arrived (or were probably sent) and
so I am curious as to whether or not they actually exist outside of
Richard's posts on Kingsnake . com or his home computer.
Has anyone else here got original copies of the said publications
(dealing with Brown snakes and death adders - new taxa or
taxonomic/nomenclature acts) or are they non-existant making the names
invalid as per article 8 (I think that's the one) of the ICZN's current
code.
So I know the names are valid, I'd be keen to actually have originals of
the said publications.
Any help?
Can anyone send me the originals?

Ray,
Do try and understand something - you are not as smart as you think you are. Please be my guest and try and prove the names in the ABR are unavailable, and while you're at it, I'll soon be publishing even more issues for you to disprove. At this time, rather than give you a well-deserved verbal slapping around, I shall be my typically polite self and just point out the following for the benefit of others:
1. You WERE sent copies;
2. I know that you have seen them;
3. I know that you have already regarded them as validly published;
4. I may send you more if you recant your bumptious ways and behave in a more rational manner;
5. I shall soon be giving you a little taxonomic surprise...because not all the world conspires against you; and,
6. I am glad that you missed out on a jail sentence in your recent Court Case, although I do suspect that you will be seeking revenge against the Victorian legal system with another of your laborious, self-published diatribes. It would be inhuman of me to fail to suggest that we would all much prefer that your crusades against the evil ones go straight to a film script. Movies seem a much more preferable medium for fantasy than the printed word.

Richard Wells

Richard, I raise the issue of validity not on the basis of my reading the papers as you posted here - but because it has been asserted that they weren't actually published in hard copy which is something I'd assumed and taken as given.
I was advised that I should get hold of printed originals before citing them and so seek some.
Looking forward to getting them and I haven't seen any yet.
By the way, I haven't avoided jail, fines or whatever, the case continues.
