Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Royal Physical Society of Edinburgh, Vol. 16: For the Promotion of Zoology and Other Branches of Natural History, 1904-1906 And so it comes to pass that there is a variety of snake in these Isles which does not grow to the size of the average adder, is of the same colour in the two sexes, and is very limited in its distribution, but which, because its scales happen to be arranged in the way authorities have decided is that of the adder, is likewise classed as Vipera berus, I refer to the small red viper. Even in its temper and disposition this snake is unlike the adder, a fact with which country folks, where the red viper occurs, are quite familiar with, but which systematists consider of no importance, if they are aware of it. Anyone who has seen specimens of the two reptiles together, is strongly tempted to think that those who are responsible for classing them as the same species never had a similar opportunity. But their scales are similarly arranged; that is quite sufficient. During the time I have been working on this subject, I have obtained several specimens of the small red viper, which are now in the University Zoology Museum, where the two reptiles can be compared. In the last five years I have taken or examined about five hundred British adders, but I have only seen four of these red vipers, a fact which in itself is strongly against them being of the same species. Their very rarity is the difficulty in investigating them; they have not been observed with their young, nor have they been known to pair with the common adder. So, as they conform to the adder scaling, adders they must be under present arrangements. What follows will, I think, show how extremely variable this scaling is, and to what extent its limits have to be stretched to include all adders within its range. G. A. Boulenger, the distinguished ophiologist of the British Museum, is the only person who has paid much attention to the variations of the adder in Great Britain. He has laid down the limits of scaling recorded, in the following paragraphs, which it is necessary to quote to show the great variation which obtains.
