the Field Guide to Reptile and Amphibians of the Eastern United States and
Canada might like to know that Roger Conant passed away on Friday..he was 94..and passed away in his sleep after a long illness...I know I used his field guide a thousand times every time I needed to identify a snake/lizard I came across.His field guide brought a light into the dark....Thanks Roger
