Excerpt from The Poisonous Terrestrial Snakes of Our British Indian Dominions: And How to Recognise Them "This book ... meets a long-felt want, in affording a ready means of identifying a dead snake." ... "Invaluable to medical men in India." ... "So far as the venomous kinds are concerned a very little practice with Major Wall's key will enable any one to discover the species with ease and certainty." - Country Queries and Notes, May 1908. "The book is arranged in the most lucid manner, and ought to be included in the library of every Anglo-Indian. It reveals a large amount of patient research work, and is interesting throughout." - The Pioneer, 9th February 1908. "Of great value to the medical profession as well as to the naturalist." - Review, Times of India. "The book is well adapted to enable medical men and others to identify with the minimum of trouble any of the Indian poisonous land snakes." - Madras Mail. "A valuable contribution to the literature of the Thanatophidia of India." - Advocate of India. "The object of Major Wall's little book is to point out characters of scaling by which, in his opinion, any one should be able to arrive at the name of any poisonous snake ... To many, the system proposed in this book will be of real utility ... We wish Major Wall's little work a wide circulation in India." - G. A. B. Country Life, April 1908.
