Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Specimens of Snakes in the Collection of the British Museum Those specimens which have been presented to the Museum have the name of the donor marked immediately after the ha hitat. When there is no such indication, the specimens have been either purchased or procured in exchange; and in this case, whenever the place or person from whom they have been received gives authenticity to the specimen, or adds anything of moment to their history, they are noted as being from such or such a collection or person. Great care has been taken to use the generic and specific names first given to the group or species, and a reference has been made to the works in which the genera and species have been described and figured, and in most instances the dates of publication of the works referred to have been added.
