Sorry about three lists this week. I won't send out another one until next week.
Today's list contains a very special prices on three classic books. It may be worth buying extra to give as gifts:
Fitch, Henry S. 1960. Autecology of the copperhead. University of Kansas Publications, Museum of Natural History. 13 (4): 85-288. 1980 second printing. $15.00
Fitch, Henry S. 1970. Reproductive cycles in lizards and snakes. The University of Kansas Museum of Natural History, Miscellaneous Publications. (52): 1-247. 1991 second printing. $7.00
Wilson, Larry David and Louis Porras. 1983. The Ecological Impact of Man on the South Florida Herpetofauna. University of Kansas Museum of Natural History, Lawrence, KS, vi, 89 p. Florida; Introduced species. $3.00
In addition to these I have listed several books and papers, many with reduced prices.
Please let me know if you would like anything from this list.

Corti, Claudia and Pietro Lo Cascio. 1999. I Lacertidi Italiani. L'Epos Società Editrice, Palermo, 92 p., 16 plates. The lizard fauna of Italy is dominated by lacertids and it is impossible to overlook these agile, beautifully patterned and coulored creatures. Due to their taxonomic and ecological diversity, lacertid lizards also represent an important part within the network of ecosystems, thus being a major constituent of Mediterranean biodiversity. However, our knowledge on the biology, ecology and ethology of lacertids is still imcomplete, and even the taxonomy and phylogeny of various groups are not yet resolved. It is therefore meritorious that the current knowledge on Italy's lacertid lizards has been summarized in this book -- Wolfgang Boehme. $12.00
