Although numerous species of amphibians and reptiles live in New England and the northeastern Untied States, few people are aware of their existence of know much about their life histories, habitats, or distributions. This illustrated work provides such information, compiling the latest data on nearly sixty species. Included is a detailed account of each species' range, relative abundance, habitat, breeding period (from egg deposition through larval period), home range and movements, and food habitats. Additional comments and selected references are provided throughout.
The book is...
