This classic work, originally published in 1975, has been completely brought up to date. This seventh edition includes all species described prior to October 2013. Reptiles and Amphibians of Australia is a complete guide to Australia’s rich and varied herpetofauna, including frogs, crocodiles, turtles, tortoises, lizards and snakes.

For each of the 1,194 species there is a description of its appearance, distribution and habits. Each species is accompanied by a distribution map and, in most cases, a color photograph of the living animal.

The book includes 130 simple-to-use dichotomous keys that in most cases allow a specimen in hand to be identified. In addition, it has a comprehensive list of scientific references for those wishing to conduct more in-depth research, an extensive glossary, and basic guides to the collection, preservation and captive care of specimens.
