This volume of TERRALOG is a presentation of the venomous snakes of Africa. It portrays about 136 taxa and forms of the families Atractaspidae, Elapidae and Viperidae, and covers the entire African continent. Besides species that are illustrated in color photographs for the first time, this book also contains photographs of some undescribed forms.
