Originally published by the Bombay Natural History Society, this pioneering study describes 140 species of Indian reptile in terms of identification, habitat, distribution, unique characteristics, breeding, and other features, illustrated by 41 full-colour and 13 black-and-white plates. The work draws heavily on the observations of the Society's members in the pages of its journal over the last century, supplemented by the author's own observations and other literature on the subject. The reptiles featured include crocodiles, marine turtles, freshwater tortoises or terrapins, freshwater or mud turtles, and land tortoises.
