Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Reptile Book: A Comprehensive, Popularised, Work on the Structure and Habits of the Turtles, Tortoises, Crocodilians, Lizards and Snakes, Which Inhabit the United, States and Northern Mexico

In the present work the writer has sought to compile a popular review of a great fauna - the Reptiles of North America. He has excluded technical phraseology and tried to produce two results: 1. A popular book, that may be comprehended by the beginner and 2 - A book valuable in its details to the technical worker. Though some scientists scoff at all lan guage except that which is obscure to everybody but them selves, I feel sure that to even that Few, this book will be of interest, for the illustrations alone tell the story.

My friend ibe Camera: Through the several years of prep aration of this book, my most useful ally has been a camera.
