Stejneger — New Opisthoglyph Snake from Formosa. lY 



Remarks. — I take great pleasure in dedicating this new species to Pro- 

 fessor K. Kraepelin, the distinguished director of the Museum in which 

 the specimens here described are taken care of. It differs from most of 

 the other species of the genus in having a double anal and a scarcely 

 enlarged vertebral scale series; also in the very short posterior chin- 

 shields, and especially in the numerous small temporals.
