NOTES ON SNAKES COLLECTED IN FYZABAD. 



121 



on a mouse. I have alluded to this specimen in a previous note in 

 this Journal which extends the habitat previously recorded * 



Psammophis condanarns. 



Of 23 specimens that came into my hands 16 were females, 6 males* 

 and 1 was not sexed. The living examples were active, vivacious, 

 and not backward in the use of their teeth. 



The species appears to me to be subarboreal in habit. 



Food. — One had eaten a frog, and two others a skink (Mabuia 

 spec ?). 



Breeding. — Two were reported to be found in company on the 

 27th of August, but one only, a female, was captured. 



Scale characters. — The two last ventrals were bifid in one example. 

 The labials were 9 with the 4th and 5th touching the eye in two 

 specimens. I give a list in detail.
