Description
Indian Snakes: An Elementary Treatise On Ophiology With A Descriptive Catalogue Of The Snakes Found In India And The Adjoining Countries is a foundational work on snake species indigenous to the Indian subcontinent. Edward Nicholson provides systematic descriptions of various snake species, their characteristics, behaviors, and habitats across India and neighboring territories.
This treatise serves as both an educational resource and a scientific reference for understanding ophiology—the study of snakes. The work combines elementary explanations suitable for general readers with detailed cataloguing that appeals to naturalists and herpetologists. Nicholson’s descriptive approach helps readers identify different snake species while learning about their ecological roles and significance in Indian wildlife.
