Kota Kinabalu, 2014. Well illustrated, small 8vo, pp viii, 168, paperback, a very good new copy.

For the first time, this book compiles images and data on all 97 extant local species in the format of a full-colour, easy-to-use, quick reference field guide. With growing appreciation for the importance of a…
