Tropidonotus piscator. 

 One specimen of variety quivcunciatus. 



Pseudoxenodon macrops. 

 A single specimen. 



Lycodon aulicus. 

 One specimen of variety D of Boulenger's Catalogue. The ventrals 

 and subcaudals 211 +67. Anal divided. 



Coluber cantoris. 



A single example. The costals are in 21 rows, two headslengths 

 behind the head and in midbody, 17 at a point two headslengths before 

 the anus. Ventrals and subcaudals 229 -|- 69. The Srd supralabial 

 is not divided, and the 4th and 5th only touch the eye. 



Dendrophis proarchos* (Wall). 



2 examples. The costals are in 15 rows anteriorly and in 

 midbody, 9 at a point two headslengths before the anus. The 

 ventrals and subcaudals 182 + 142 and 192+ ?, the latter a9. The 

 anal is entire in both specimens and both entirely agree with the 

 many A^sam specimens I have seen of this snake. The vertebral 

 are broader than long. The supralabials are 9, the 4th, 5th and 6th 

 touciiing the eye. The 9 contained 7 eggs but the date of capture is 

 unfortunately not on record. 



Simotes alhocinctus. 

 One variety typica (Cantorj, and two of a variety calling for special 

 remark. It is most like jiiglandifer (Wall) (variety C of Boulenger's 

 Catalogue), but differs in that there are no black walnut-shaped spots. 

 A darker broad stripe 5 rows wide, runs down the middle of the 

 back, and a narrower dark stripe between the Srd and 4th rows 

 above the ventrals and there are no crossbars. I suggest the name 

 dorsolateralis for it. It is probably only a modified form of 

 jvijland'fer for a suggestion of the walnut marks is sometimes 

 noticeable here and there if looked for beneath a lens. The costals 

 are in 1 9 rows, anteriorly and in midbody, and i 5 at a point two 

 headslengths before the anus. The ventrals and subcaudals are 

 var. fypeca 191+?, and in the others 170 + 30, and 162+39. The 

 supralabials in variety t^/pica are 8, the 4th and 5th touching the
