A GUIDE TO
 THE SNAKES OF UGANDA

 By
 Capt. Charles R. S. Pitman, D.S.O., M.C.
 Corresponding Member of the Zoological Society
 Game Warden, Uganda.

 The above work which appeared serially in Volumes III, IV and V of
the Uganda Journal is now on sale.
 While the book is a complete guide to Uganda snakes, it also has a
much wider interest and importance, for it deals with species of snakes that
are found from the East to the West Coasts of Africa, and from the Sudan
to the Union of South Africa. It is, in fact, the most comprehensive and
authoritative work on African snakes that has yet been published.
 Of the greatest value are the 23 splendid coloured plates which give a
complete and accurate pictorial record of the snakes of Uganda-some 80
species in all. Not only are the heads, lateral and ventral sections of adult
snakes shown,but the differences of colouring and markings of young snakes
are also depicted. The book is further illustrated by 18 plates of line draw-
'ings, two diagrams and two maps.
 Another feature which increases the usefulness of the book is its index-
or rather indexes. Of these there are three-an Index of Scientific Names,
an Index of Popular Names, and an Index of Vernacular Names. There is
also a List of Contents.
 The Foreword has been contributed by Mr. H.W. Parker, Assistant Keep-
er of Zoology at the British Museum.
 The edition is limited to 500 copies, each one of which is numbered.

 Price 30s.
