black and coral red, the red lighter on neck. The black bands

A single specimen of this rare species was collected in the 
mountains lying back of the Zamboanga waterworks intake. It 
was found near the summit, under a decayed log. When dis- 
turbed the tip of the tail was turned up to display the bright 
red spots beneath.

I have obtained two adult specimens of the Philippine brown 
cobra; one (No. 869) from Los Bafios, presented to me by 
Prof. C. F. Baker, dean of the College of Agriculture, and a 
second specimen, collected near Antipolo by Mrs. R. M. McCrory. 
The Los Bafios specimen has a very much longer head than the 
Antipolo specimen. The measurements are 52 and 43 milli- 
meters, respectively.
