Reptiles & amphibians of Australia
"This book is a guide to over 1000 species of frogs, crocodiles, turtles, tortoises, lizards and snakes that comprise Australia's rich and varied herpetofauna." "This sixth edition encompasses a revised master list of genera and species, the addition of 48 new species to the Appendix, new entries to the Selected References and a fully updated index." "As in previous editions, the text contains readily accessible information about distribution and habitats, as well as: keys illustrated with hundreds of explanatory drawings providing quick and easy identification, distribution maps, colour photographs, a list of currently recognised species, a detailed glossary, an extensive list of references, and advice on collecting methods." "Reptiles and Amphibians of Australia is a guide for herpetologists and those who have a broader interest in the Australian environment and its wildlife. It deserves a place on the shelves of all home libraries."--Jacket
