Description

The Herpetology of Cuba (1919) is a comprehensive guide to the reptiles and amphibians found on the Caribbean island of Cuba. Written by American herpetologist Thomas Barbour, the book covers over 100 species of snakes, lizards, frogs, and toads that inhabit Cuba's diverse ecosystems, from the rainforests of the Sierra Maestra mountains to the coastal mangrove swamps. The book includes detailed descriptions of each species, including their physical characteristics, behavior, and habitat preferences, as well as illustrations and photographs to aid in identification. Barbour also provides a brief history of Cuban herpetology and an overview of the island's geography and climate. The Herpetology of Cuba is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the natural history of Cuba or the study of reptiles and amphibians.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
