 Frith, Esq. 



D. FoRSTENi, Dum. et Bib. 

 a. Huge adult. Bengal. 



Labelled, " D. trigonata, Lower Bengal'' but no other re- 

 cord of this scarce species. Beddom has got it on the 

 Ananiallies. 

 h. adult (bleached), no record. 



D. NIGROMARGINATA, Blytll. 



D. huhalina, Klein ? 



I am not convinced of the identity of these two species, which Giin- 

 ther unites. I can see no " apical grooves" to the scales in our 

 specimen, and the loreal is not higher than long as on D. huhalina, 

 The coloration of the under parts too is different. 



D. MULTBIACULATA, Sclll. 



a. adult. Hongkong. 



h. two ditto. 



Gr. Bowring, Esq. 



Many specimens of this snake from Birma, where it is common, 

 seem to have disappeared from the museum. 



D. MULTIFASCIATA, Blyth. 



a. young. Subathoo. 



Perhaps a young, D. trigonata. 

 J). HEXAGONOTUs, Blyth. 



a. many young. Andamans. 



Bev. Cave Brown. 



Capt. Hodge and Col. 

 Tytler» 



The type specimen is no longer in the museum, and these young 

 specimens are unsatisfactory data for specific identification.
