Book excerpt: Excerpt from Descriptive Catalogue of the Reptiles of British India My descriptions of species will be found to vary greatly in length and as regards the amount of detail given; but this is intentional, as my object is not to give an exhaustive description of any species, but merely such a description, and so much detail of its structure, as will enable the student to specifically determine it, my object being the production of a useful working student's handbook, rather than a more preten tious Zoological monograph, which must be the work of some future decade; at the same time I am so conscious of its many shortcomings, that nothing but my urgent sense of the want of some such work emboldens me to come forward with what I cannot but think will be an accept able contribution to brother naturalists in India, interest ed in this branch of natural science, or the class of men as they have been contemptuously described, who are desirous of acquainting themselves with animals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reptiles of British India The coincidence of several most favourable circumstances, which seemed to promise a fair success, induced me to entertain the idea of making the Reptilian fauna of British India the subject of a special work; and I was confirmed in this, as I had frequent opportunities of observing that such a work would supply a real want among a class of men residing in India, who, imbued with a desire to promote Natural History knowledge, are deterred by the want of a work which would guide them in their first steps to acquainting themselves with objects coming daily under their notice, and which would show them where and how new facts may be gathered. As this work is the first attempt to comprise the entire Reptilian fauna of the continent of the Indian region, it must be in many respects incomplete, although I trust it will form a basis for the labours of future times. Every one who makes the fauna of a country an object of special study has a triple task before him: first, to distinguish and systematically to arrange the species as exactly as possible; secondly, to make himself acquainted with their habits; and, thirdly, to ascertain the geographical range of each variety, of each species, of each genus. A perfect knowledge of the species is the first condition, without which progress in the two latter respects is impossible; and it is much more the part of that zoologist who is furnished with a complete series of the objects for repeated comparison and examination, and has access to the thousand volumes through which descriptions and notes are scattered, than of the naturalist and collector who has the opportunity of observing the animals in their natural haunts; on him mainly devolves the fullfillment of the two latter tasks; but scarcely anything has been done in this respect as far as the Indian Reptiles are concerned, and therefore my work, in its present shape, is one of abstract science. I have enjoyed the great advantage of unlimited access to collections accumulated in this country from the time of Russell. A considerable number of the types used by this pioneer in Indian Ophiology are still preserved in the collections of the British Museum and of the Royal College of Surgeons; the types, with a very few exceptions, of the species described by Shaw, Gray, and myself, form part of the collection of the British Museum. Cantor had sent invaluable collections, containing his types, to the University of Oxford, where a part of the specimens, with his early manuscripts and drawings, are still preserved, and at a later period to the Museum of the East India Company, which contained also a number of the types sent by Kelaart and Griffith.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Snakes of Australia: An Illustrated and Descriptive Catalogue of All the Known Species I am under deep obligations to Dr. Albert Gunther, of the British Museum, whose splendid work on The Reptiles of British India has enabled me to add a full account of the Australian Sea Snakes. The gifted daughters of A. W. Scott, Esq., m.a. Miss Scott, and Mrs. Edward Forde - have done everything in their power to give correct figures of the reptiles illustrated.

Download or read book The Fauna of British India written by George A. Boulenger and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fauna of British India: Including Ceylon and Burma Two classes of Vertebrata, the Reptiles and the Batrachiaus or Amphibians, are described in this volume of the 'Fauna of British India.' These two classes have often been associated in zoological works, and were, by many writers, until recently, not regarded as distinct. The study of both is usually prosecuted by the same observers, and no practical advantage would result from publishing the descriptions of the two separately. Mr. Boulenger, to whom Indian naturalists are indebted for the present work, has already classified and described all known Crocodiles, Tortoises, Lizards, Chamaeleous, and Batrachians in Catalogues of the British Museum that have appeared during the last eight years. Many of the characters of genera and species now published are taken from those Catalogues, but numerous additions have been made and several alterations have been inserted. Wherever the complete synonymy is given in the Catalogues it has been considered unnecessary, in the present work, to insert more than a reference to the original description of the species, to the page in the British Museum Catalogue where full details can be found, and to the general works on Indian Reptiles by Giinther and Theobald.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Reptiles and Amphibians This little volume, dealing with the British Reptiles and Amphibians, may well find a place in the Peeps at Nature Series. Britain has few representatives of these two classes of animals, but their fewness in number has enabled the author to deal with each species at some length; and, besides, we have the additional advantage of being able to illustrate all but two of the British species in colour. We are indebted to Miss Scrivener for the capabie way in which she has prepared the drawings from which the coloured plates have been prepared. The reader's attention is par ticularly directed to the series of photographic repro ductions on Plates III., VI., VII., X., and XL, which illustrate admirably the story of the development of the frog.

First, the creatures herein described are living pets, the occupants Of the Vivarium and not the Cabinet. Next they are few; the intention Of these volumes being to treat of British species only, and Britain has but few reptiles. Thirdly, though still comparatively small creatures, they belong to the important group of Vertebrate; or back-boned animals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of British Reptiles In the Chelonians, or Tortoises, and in the Ophidians, or Serpent tribe, the extremes of these different types of organization are exhibited. In the common European land Tortoise, Testudo Gram, which may be selected as a familiar example of the former group, the whole struc ture of the skeleton is brought into the most compact and solid state. The bones of the cranium and face are consolidated into a single and. Immovable case, with scarcely the vestige of sutures showing the separation of the different centres of ossification upon which it has been formed; there are no teeth, but the margins Of the upper and of the lower jaw are covered by a horny beak, the latter being received into a groove of the former, and thus closing like the lid of a box; then the whole of the dorsal vertebrae, the ribs, the bones representing the sterno-costal cartilages, and the broad united sternum, are altogether compacted into a case of bone, without any separation between the parts of which it is composed. The anterior and posterior extremities are fully developed, but, instead of being placed exterior to the thorax, they are all of them contained within its cavity, and even the bones of the feet are only extended beyond the horny box which protects them, when the animal is employing them in progression.
