Excerpt from Poisonous Snakes of the World: A Manual for Use by the U. S. Amphibious Forces The first edition of the ONI 3-62, Poisonous Snakes of the World, was published on 30 June 1962 under the auspices of the Office of Naval Intelligence of the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. The widespread interest generated by this publication and the increasing commitments of Navy and Marine forces throughout the world, particularly in Southeast Asia, have served to emphasize the need for a more authoritative manual that can be used for training and in support of military operations. The Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, having recognized this necessity, assumed the responsibility for a more definitive and comprehensive up-to-date presentation of the problems relating to venomous snakes. Commander Granville M. Moore, MSC, USN, was appointed as coordinator and principal editor to work with a committee of eminent herpetologists, selected by the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists, to revise the manual. The Bureau of Medicine and, Surgery gratefully acknowledges the important contributions made by this committee and the services provided by the New York Zoological Society. First aid procedures in cases of snakebite as described herein are approved by the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery and the specific treatment set forth represents the official policy of this Bureau at the time of publication. This manual is recommended for use by all ships, stations, and commands in need of authoritative information about snakes and snakebites.
