>>Very good book, Up to date and heaps of photos.



Yeah, the Cogger book I have is the 6th edition. The pics of the dragons in the book didn't correspond well to the pics I took, but after reading the descriptions of A. (L.) longirostris and gilberti I think I have a match; thanks!



>>Send me a blown up version of the monitor pics in question. To my email address Scott_Eipper@hotmail.com



That will take some doing--they were stills from my video camera, and I'll have to retake the stills since I didn't save the original, unresized captures. I'm in the process of converting all my old video to DVD which eventually will make tasks like this go a little smoother!



>> Incidently Simoselaps roperi was recently upgraded to full specific status from Simoselaps semifasciatus.



Doesn't look like it ranges down to the Barkly Highway according to Cogger; would you still say it was roperi (semifasciatus)?



>>Ohh and Suta means "Stitched" according to " Harry Ehmann's



Does it say what my other scientific names requested mean?
