This guide is intended to aid biologists, naturalists, teachers, land managers, law enforcement officials, and students in the identification of amphibians and reptiles found in Illinois. It is meant to be used in the field, so the characters stressed in the keys and species accounts can be viewed with the unaided eye or, at most, a small hand lens. The species are grouped according to systematic relationships: salamanders, frogs, turtles, lizards, and snakes. The book is set up so that identification can be achieved either by using the color photographs or "key characters" section included in each species account. The dichotomous keys are the most effective way to identify an animal, but some readers unfamiliar with keys may find the photographs a more user-friendly starting point. Only a handful of the 102 species covered by this guide are distributed statewide. Each species account has three components: text, photograph, and range map.
