No. XXV.— EGG-EATING COBRAS. 

 The interesting note of Mr. C. P. George's in the last Journal (page 174) 

 with reference to the hatching of a guinea-fowl's egg after its recovery from 

 a cobra's stomach, remarkable though it is, has an almost exact parallel which 

 Miss Hopley in her work on snakes relates (page GO). She mentions a cobra 

 being killed from which a hen's egg was extracted, marked, and placed under a 

 guinea-fowl which in due course hatched out.
