Reptiles and Amphibians of Australia Fifth Edition. This book is a fully illustrated comprehensive guide to the identification of Australia's rich and varied herpetofauna--over 960 species of frogs, crocodiles, turtles, tortoises, lizards, and snakes. Surpassing the high quality of its four predecessors, this edition appears in a radically different format, and the text has been completely updated and expanded to reflect the findings of new research and changes in nomenclature. First published in 1975, Harold G. Cogger's book quickly became the classic work in its field. Subsequent editions were enlarged to include additional species, new photographs, and changes to taxonomy. Now, in this competely revised, fifth edition, there are two added features: all photographs are in colour and placed adjacent to the relevant text, and the identification keys are accompanied by explanatory drawings, providing quick reference and easier identification. The book also includes distribution maps, a section on collecting methods, a glossary, and an extensive list of references. Providing a foundation for detailed studies of the biology and ecology of Australian reptiles and frogs, this book will also interest readers wishing to broaden their knowledge of Australia's wildlife. Front cover: Moloch Horridus (Thorny Devil). 788 pages. Book is in good clean condition.
