| Review (by Malcolm Storey) | A detailed account of the lives of our three snakes based on 30 years’ study by the author in southern England and Wales. |
| Errata, Corrigenda & Comments | The statement on p326 that "snake hibernation sites have the same protected status as Badger (*Meles meles*) setts or bat colonies" is, unfortunately, incorrect. A letter correcting this was published in a later issue. |
