Abstract

A total of 85 specimens belonging to 14 snake species collected from the Western Taurus Mountain Range were examined in this study. Along with morphological information about the species, the study contains some topographical observations concerning the localities. The collection of material from a number of new localities helped efforts to complete missing information related to the distribution of species in this region. Moreover, the data obtained were compared with those contained in the relevant literature with the purpose of shedding light on the taxonomical status of the species.
