Vertebrates of the United States

Description:

An important mid-twentieth-century reference work bringing together the fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals of the United States in a single volume. Written by leading specialists, it combines identification keys, classification, distributional information and introductory accounts of vertebrate evolution and anatomy. Long used as a university textbook and field reference, it provides a valuable record of American vertebrate zoology and taxonomy before the advent of molecular systematics.
