Abstract

Included are at least 102 species and subspecies: 7 amphibians, 6 marine turtles and 89 land and freshwater reptiles. Sinai harbours 7 additional species. Some comments are also made on the fauna of Jordan. Zoogeographically the Israeli herpetofauna is heterogeneous, showing at least 12 distribution patterns, but most forms are Mediterranean or Saharo-Arabian. -from Author
