Editor's note: FitzSimons’ Snakes of Southern Africa is the definitive study of the 160 species and sub-species of snakes known to occur in the southern African sub-continent, i.e. south of a line drawn from the Zambezi River in the east to the Kunene River in the west..... For this 1990 edition, an addendum, has been added to bring the book in line with still further new scientific information. A full description of every form is provided, together with synoptic keys, bibliography, field notes and details of colour, size and distribution. The introduction provides the necessary background for the layman. The bibliography covers the relevant literature up to 1982 while the supplementary bibliography lists the literature included in the new addendum. A general map supplements the distribution maps with geographical details and place names.
