Bungarus icalli. 



This new species was figured and described in an earlier issue of this 

 Journal (Vol. XVII, p. 608). I obtained 8 specimens. 



Bungarus candidus. 



Of 62 specimens 58 were sexed, S3 were males, and 25 females. 



A large number were found in or about habitations and chiefly at 

 night. 



Food. — Young seem to rely upon the little blinclsnakes ( Typhlops bra- 

 minus) for subsistence, but older examples though frequently ophio- 

 phagous exhibit very catholic tastes in the choice of food. Young 

 mammals, toads, frogs, and once a young monitor lizard were devoured. 



Breeding, — The young began hatching in July. 



Scale characters. — In at least three specimens the 2nd supralabial 

 was divided into an upper and a lower part.
