The British Journal of Herpetology
This journal is part of our legacy archive. For historical interest we have made these volumes available as open access downloads.
The British Journal of Herpetology was published between 1948 and 1984 before transforming into The Herpetological Journal, reflecting the much wider geographic and taxonomic breadth of research that was being conducted in the mid-1980s onwards. Initially the British Journal of Herpetology was solely focussed on the publication of research articles and notes on British herpetofauna, but as time progressed, it welcomed manuscripts on species from further afield, as well as those focussing on captive husbandry and laboratory protocols.
As a historic publication, the British Journal of Herpetology is no longer accepting submissions, but went through six volumes, all with twelve issues each during its print run. The editors for these were as follows: Dr Angus d'A. Bellairs (1949-1953), Dr R. Maxwell Savage (1953-1957), Dr Angus d'A. Bellairs (1957-1964), Dr Harold Fox (1965-1976), and Dr M. Peaker (1977-??).
