Excerpt from A Popular Account of Australian Snakes: With a Complete List of the Species and an Introduction to Their Habits and Organisation
The present publication is not intended to be exhaustive, nor does it aim at replacing its more pretentious and expensive predecessor. It deals in a popular manner with the better known snakes, both venomous and harmless, and colored illustrations and figures in the text of such are furnished. The names, distribution, and dimensions only of the lesser known species are given, as a more detailed account would swell the pages beyond the scope of the book. Some account of the habits and organisation of snakes in general will be found in part I.
