This guide is a summary of basic information on the site's richly varied herpetofauna, from their taxonomy and distribution to their behavior and habitats. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKeys to identify the adult and larval forms of the site's known species comprise the core of the guide. These keys are supplemented by maps, graphs, and illustrations as well as by information on habitats; population characteristics and distribution; behavior related to movement, feeding, and reproduction; morphology; and techniques for collecting specimens. The guide also includes information about special identification and study problems involving unresolved sighting reports; subspeciation; and venomous, edible, endangered, and introduced species. Finally, a bibliography gives not only the sources referred to in the guide but virtually all studies and reports based on herpetological research conducted at the Savannah River Site. The site-related publications are listed by author but can also be found through an index to the subjects they cover. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eGuide to the Reptiles and Amphibians of the Savannah River Site\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable one-volume introduction to the existing information on herpetofauna at the site and to the countless research opportunities the site still presents. Because it is clearly written and designed and lists most of the reptiles and amphibians found in Georgia and South Carolina, the guide is also useful to wildlife observers--professional and amateur--in those states.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhit Gibbons (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e WHIT GIBBONS is a professor emeritus of ecology at the University of Georgia and author or coauthor of several books on herpetology and ecology, including \u003ci\u003eKeeping All the Pieces\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSnakes of the Southeast\u003c\/i\u003e, Revised Edition, \u003ci\u003eFrogs and Toads of the Southeast, Lizards and Crocodiles of the Southeast, Turtles of the Southeast, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSalamanders of the Southeast\u003c\/i\u003e (all Georgia). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eRaymond D.
