The types of Nannoscincus garrulus were collected during field research funded by grant DEB 0108108 from the National Science Foundation (U.S.A.), and the specimens were collected under permit 6034-2075/DRN issued by the Direction des Ressources Naturelles of the Province Sud, New Caledonia and exported under permit 6034-2330/DRN of the same authority. The authorities at Societe le Nickel (SLN) kindly allowed access to Pic Ningua. Unfailing logistical support and encouragement was provided by Jean Chazeau of the IRD Centre de Noumea.
