LÖNNBERG AND ANDERSSON, REPTILES FROM K1SMAYU. 5 



Dispholidus typus Smith. 



1 specimen. 



Brachyophis reyoili Mocquard. 



2 specimens. These agree almost in every respect with 

 Mocquard's original description of this very interesting snake. 

 Our specimens have, however, only one postocular, and only 

 one of the labials, viz. the fourtb, enters the eye. Boulenger's 

 description differs from Mocquard's with regard to the labials, 

 as he says that the second and third are in contact with 

 the prsefrontal, while in our specimens the third and fourth 

 labials are in contact with the praef ron tal which is in agree - 

 ment with Mocquard's words. In a similar way Bou- 

 lenger's description indicates that the fifth and sixth labials 

 are in contact with the parietal, while in our specimens it 

 is the sixth and seventh, as Mocquard also has said. Whether 

 these latter differences are due to variation, or possibly to a 

 misprint we cannot tell. 



Our largest specimen measures 335 mm., which is a 

 little more than the length recorded by Mocquard, viz. 252 mm. 



Aparallactus coiicolor Fischer. 



2 specimens. 



Naja liigricollis Reinh. var. pallida Blgr. 

 1 specimen.

 slightly shorter than that between prsefrontals; frontal a little 

 broader than long, about equal to its distance from the end
