It is possible that Cantor's three plates were not printed with his article that appeared in vol. 19, and which likely appeared in the first half of 1836, but were included in vol. 20, which was opened later that same year. Asiatic Researches was first issued in 1788 as "Asiatic Researches; or, Transactions of the Society, instituted in Bengal, for enquiring into the History, the Antiquities, the Arts and Sciences, and Literature of Asia. Volume the First." and printed in Calcutta by Manuel Cantopher. The first volume was reprinted in London and bears a date of 1798.

Sander'schen Buchhandlung zu Berlin, Breslau und Bonn. [NB: See comments by Bauer & Adler (2001) on the order in which the different printings of the Meyen reports appeared. The volume cited here, according to Bauer and Adler, though stating on the title pages of each of the parts as appearing in the "Acta Acad. Caes. Leop. Carol. Nat. Cur. Vol. XVII. P.I." actually appeared before it appeared in the Acta. The pages in the volume bear dual pagination numbers, e.g. "436 (186)," the first as it appears in the full volume, the second the already assigned pagination for the Acta. Thus, Wiegmann's Amphibian section is numbered 433-435 (actually these pages are unnumbered) followed by 436 (186)-522(268). In a like manner the reptile and amphibian plates are dually numbered, LII (XIII)-LXI (XXII)., pls. 52-61.]
