Description
Indian Snakes: An Elementary Treatise On Ophiology With A Descriptive Catalogue Of The Snakes Found In India And The Adjoining Countries is a definitive reference work on Indian serpents. Written by Edward Nicholson, this hardcover volume combines scientific knowledge with accessible explanations suitable for both novice and experienced naturalists.
The book provides comprehensive coverage of ophiology—the study of snakes—with particular focus on species indigenous to the Indian subcontinent and surrounding regions. Each snake species is described in detail, including physical characteristics, behavior, habitat, and distribution patterns. The treatise serves as both an educational resource and a practical field guide for identifying snakes encountered in India and adjacent territories.
Originally published as a fundamental work in herpetology, this Gyan Publishing House edition preserves the author’s meticulous research and systematic classification. The descriptive catalogue format makes it invaluable for naturalists, biologists, educators, and anyone interested in understanding the diverse snake fauna of South Asia.
