Book Description Condition: New. (Hardcover, 1983). 1983 1st edition. 8vo (152 x 223mm). Pp256. B/w plates and illustrations, maps and bibliography. Green buckram, spine titled in gilt. Slight tanning of end-papers & edges but very good in good dust-wrapper with small closed tears. "For over thirty years, the New Naturalist's earlier book, British Amiphibians and Reptiles by Malcolm Smith, was an unchallenged standard work on the subject; but so many changes affecting these animals have been wrought in the British countryside since the 1950s, and so much new research undertaken, that the time has come for this completely new volume in the series to appear." "Dr. Frazer describes all those species of reptiles and amphibians native to Britain, and others, once alien to our islands, which have been introduced. He makes use of the latest field discoveries, his own accumulated research and that of many other distinguished herpetologists, to present a detailed picture of reptile and amphibian ecology in Britain." Chapters include: Introduction to herpetology; Frogs and toads; Newts; Lizards; Snakes; Chelonians; Conservation of British reptiles and amphibians. "Appendices present a detailed taxonomy, and information on the law relating to these animals." Another fine addition to this excellent series. Collins New Naturalist Library series No. 69. .
