Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ophidia Taprobanica: Or the Snakes of Ceylon George Wall is dead. What a depth of meaning is contained in those words can only be appreciated by those who, like him, have become as it were a part of Ceylon itself. The name of George Wall was a household word in Ceylon, and by his death a landmark is removed, a link connecting the present with the past. He was a monument of energy, perseverance, and unswerving loyalty to those in authority, and made for himself a name which has become written in imperishable letters in the history of the Colony. The Government of Ceylon has lost one who was at once a trusty ally and a determined opponent, one who had the courage of his convictions, and who maintained them at times against overwhelming odds, one who was never afraid to speak his mind and to do what he believed to be his duty whether it was on the side of the Government or on the side of the people. The public of Ceylon have lost a true and faithful champion, a patriot to the backbone; the world of Science and Literature has lost a bright and shining light, and we a gentle master, a ready counsellor, and a true friend. To attempt to write an adequate obituary of George Wall would be to attempt to record the history of Ceylon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Snakes of Europe There is no work in the English language dealing with the Reptiles of Europe. I have therefore endeavoured to supply this desideratum, so far as the Snakes are concerned, by drawing up in a concise form an account of what is known of their characters, their distribution, and their life-histories. Professor Sordelli, of Milan, having kindly acceded to my request to reproduce some of the beautiful figures drawn by him for the work published in collaboration with the late Professor Jan under the title of "Iconographie Generale des Ophidiens," I have been able to supplement my descriptions with illustrations which leave nothing to be desired from the point of view of accuracy. A few drawings have been made specially for this book by Mr. J. Green. I have further to acknowledge the permission given by the Trustees of the British Museum, the India Office, and the Zoological Society, to reproduce a few figures from previous publications of which I am the author.

Download or read book The Man Stories of a Black Snake Classic Reprint written by William Arthur Boord and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-04-16 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Man-Stories of a Black Snake The class of men is growing larger day by day which craves for the knowledge of that which 'eye hath not seen'; these are the persons whom this critic believed would chiefly take an interest in the following pages, and to whom I am now addressing these words. The Snake Stories first took shape in the author's mind as long ago as 1893, but they only assumed concrete form in the winter of I 89 5 - 96. They were written while the influence of the Bush still powerfully moved him, partly, indeed, with a view to describing that wonderful Wild West of Tasmania so little known even to the in habitants of Tasmania itself. I suppose all who have travelled away from civilisation, be it for ever so short a distance, have felt the strange weight of solitude which presses upon their minds, and know how that feeling gradually gives place to a sensation of deepest content, as a thousand companions are disclosed to them in bird and beast and tree. These men will appreciate the fact that the author has dwelt for long in the closest com munion with Nature, and has written these stories while still imbued with her mystic teachings.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poisonous Snakes of North America Curator, Department of Reptiles and Batrachians, U. S. National Museum. It is the purpose of the present paper to give in a convenient form a review of our knowledge concerning the poisonous snakes of North America; to make the results of the specialists in the field accessible to a larger public; to bring together in one place a summary of an immense literature very often beyond the reach even of the student; to point out where our knowledge is defective, and to suggest new avenues of research. Many popular errors will be corrected, while others will be disposed of by a simple statement of facts, from which the reader is expected to draw his own conclusions. N o attempt will be made to discuss and controvert the purposely exaggerated stories with which the literature of the day abounds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Monograph of the Sea Snakes Within the last few years I have examined all the specimens of this sub-family contained in the following institutions: The Royal College of Surgeons, London; The Indian Museum, Calcutta The Natural History Society, Bombay; The Govern ment Museum, Colombo The Medical College Museum, Madras The Bangalore Museum The City Hall Museum, Hongkong The Shanghai Museum, and lately the entire British Museum collection. In addition I examined in Yokohama a large collection made by Mr. A. Owston in the seas about Japan and the Loo Choo Islands, a second large collection from the same source, a fine collection made by Mr. J. R. Henderson in Madras, and many smaller private collections from various parts as well as many specimens obtained by myself on the coasts of India and Burmah. I have detailed notes of every specimen examined and propose in the following monograph to review this confused subject, which, I venture to think, requires a thorough revision and this must necessarily entail much allusion to Professor Boulen ger's work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Snake-Poison: Its Action and Its Antidote The foregoing applies, not to Australia only, but to all other countries infested by venomous snakes. The introduction of the writer's method in every one of these countries is merely a question of time, for snake-poison acts everywhere according to one uniform principle, however different the symptoms it produces may appear to the superficial observer. The antidote, therefore, that cures snakebite in Australia will as surely cure it elsewhere if properly and efficiently applied.
