"Reptiles of the Sydney Region" provides a comprehensive field guide to the snakes, lizards and tortoise which are encountered in the area bounded by the Hunter River to the north, the Shalhaven River to the south, and Kanangra Walls and Lithgow to the west. As many of the species are distributed over a greater area than herein covered, this book has an even wider application in Eastern Australia, from Queensland to Tasmania. Each species is individually described with details on size, colour, habits, habitat and for the snakes, potential danger. Numerous colour photographs accompany the text and enable ready identification by the interested observer.
