Nala tripudians. 



Of 39 specimens that came into my hands, 19 were males, 17 females, 

 and 3 were not sexed. 



During the hot weather a cobra got into a quailery at night. 13 

 <j nails were found dead scattered about the floor in the morning and a 

 cobra was found in the enclosure with a quail in its stomach. 



The cobra brought to me on the 7th August 1906 was captured 

 under somewhat amusing and novel circumstances. On the night of 

 the 5th August it came into a native house, found its way into a hen 

 coop, and killed the hen and six chickens. Three of the latter it ate.
