REPTILES AND AMPHIBIANS 
Gapow, Hans. Cambridge Natural History: Amphibians and Reptiles. The Macmillan 
Co. 1901. $4. 
A general account of these animals for advanced students. 
Corr, Epwarp D. The Crocodilians, Lizards, and Snakes of North America. Ann. 
Rept. U. S. Natl. Museum for 1898. 
Our most important technical systematic manual, of about 1,200 pages, describing 
the species, with a number of plates and many text figures. 
Dirmars, R. L. The Reptile Book. Doubleday, Page & Co. 1907. 465 pages. $4. 
Discusses the snakes, lizards, crocodiles, tortoises, and turtles in non-technical lan- 
guage, with 136 very fine full-page plates from photographs, some of them colored. For 
the general student far the most useful book yet published on American reptiles, practically 
the only popular book on the subject, elaborately gotten up, also indispensable to the tech- 
nical herpetologist. The reptiles form a very interesting group, the study of which 
during youth would do much to dispel the horror most people have of snakes, the majority 
of which are not only harmless, but quite useful. This book should have a wide circulation.

Natl. Museum for 1893, pp- 337-487. 
Describes the poisonous species, with illustrations and a lengthy discussion of the
