RECOMMENDED WEBSITES:

• Dr. Paul Veenvliet's Dutch and Slovenian wildlife website at: http://www.zavod-symbiosis.si/illustrations/index.htm shows excellent illustrations of European species.
• http://www.hylawerkgroep.be/jeroen/ links to Jeroen Speybroeck's 'Herpetofauna of Europe' pages (wonderful photographs for identifying European reptiles and amphibians).

• The Surrey Amphibian and Reptile Group (SARG) have recently launched a new website at: http://surrey-arg.org.uk/ . Although in the early stages of development this site is already very nicely illustrated and it should prove to be a very useful source of information about British Amphibians and Reptiles.
