Abstract
ALTHOUGH there is no lack of good figures of most of the snakes of Europe, yet these are mostly executed from preserved specimens. We therefore welcome the publication, of which the first fascicle has just appeared, undertaken by the enterprising firm of Gustav Fischer, in which Dr. Steinheil intends to represent, by means of photographs taken from living examples, the different species of snakes inhabiting Europe, as well as their principal varieties. The five copper-plates now issued could scarcely be surpassed.
