Type locality: — Java. 



Of this species, which is the most abundant member of the genus in western 

 Java, seven specimens were taken at Buitenzorg and two at Sindanglaia. Among 

 the examples from the lot first mentioned, four belong to what Boulenger has 

 called var. B; two stand between var. B and C; one is typical of F. Both the 

 specimens from the mountains belong to var. B. Taking these nine examples 

 in the order in which they have been mentioned, their scale-formulae are as 

 follows: — V. 152, C. 9; V. 146, C. 15; V. 156, C. 11; V. 157, C. 10. These 

 counts are for the four of var. B from Buitenzorg. Examples between B and 

 C: — V. 154, C. 10; V. 142, C. 16. Example of var. F: — V. 1.55, C. 9. Sin- 

 danglaia specimens: — V. 145, C. 19; and V. 155, C. 11. Bryant had twenty-four 

 from Buitenzorg. These range in count from V. 130 to 161; C. 8 to 17. He 

 had two from Gunung Bunder, which count V. 1.31-148; C. 16-19. Also, 

 besides this long series of var. B, he had two of var. A, and two of var. F.
