HB, Brown cloth edition, compiled from the serial edition in the Uganda journal (1936-1937). // In addition to it's reputation of being rare and having beautiful plates, The Snakes of Uganda is an important contribution to African herpetology. Eighty-one species of snakes are covered in the book and its relavence extends well beyond the former Uganda, to Zaire, West Africa, Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania, Tanganyka, as well as several other countries including South Africa. // Pitman spent considerable part of his life in Uganda and this book contains many valuable observations on the snakes and their behavior.

The publication of this extensive work was unfortunately interrupted when only two-thirds of the plates that had been prepared were published. The unsold stock and unpublished plates were purchased at Mr. Highley's sale by Mr. Sotheran, and the work has been in abeyance for many years." - from the introduction. John Edwards Gray was obtained to write a short description of the plates after Thomas Bell declined. The plates were originally drawn by James de Carle Sowerby and lithographed by Edward Lear.
