ENHYDRIS PLUMBEA (Boie). 



(Herpet. Japan, L907, p. 300.) 



1827. Homalopsis plumbea Boie, Isis, 1827, p. 550.- Erihydris plumbea Barbour, 

 Proc, New England Zool. Club, vol.4, L909, p. 68 (Bankoro, Formosa; 



Hainan). 



In addition to the Formosan specimens mentioned by me, Mr. 

 Barbour lias listed another from Bankoro, central Formosa. 



ENHYDRIS BENNETTII (Gray). 



(Herpet. Japan, L907, p. 302.) 



No further record of the occurrence of this snake in Formosa has 

 been forthcoming since the issue of the Herpetology of Japan. 



HURRIA RYNCHOPS (Schneider). 

 (Herpet, Japan, 1907, p. 304.) 

 The same remark applies to the present species as to the foregoing. 



ELAPHE CARINATA (Guenther). 

 (Herpet. Japan, 1!)07, p. 808.) 

 Four specimens are thus far known from Formosa. 



ELAPHE PORPHYRACEA (Cantor). 



1839. Coluber porphyractus Cantor, Proe. Zool. Soc. London, 1839, p. 39 (type- 

 locality, Mishmee hills, Assam). — Boulenger, Cat. Snakes Brit. Mus., 

 vol. 2, 1894, p. 34 (Eastern Himalayas; hills of Assam; Burma; Yunnan; 

 Malay Peninsula; Sumatra); Proc. Zool. Sue. London, 1899, p. L65( Fokien, 

 China). — Elaphe porphyracea Denburoh, Proc California Acad. Sci. (4), 

 vol. 3, Dec. 20, 1909, p. 53 (Kanshirei, Shinchiku, and Giran, Formosa). 



1839. Psammophis nigrofasdatus Cantor, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1839, p. 53 

 (type-locality, Singapore; type in Brit. Mus.; Cantor, collector), 



1853. Coronella callicephalm Gray, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (2), vol. 12, p. 390, 

 (type-locality, Khasi Hills; type in Brit. Mus.; J. Hooker, collector). 



This is another east Himalayan species whose range has now been 

 ascertained to extend to Formosa. Judging from the fact that the 

 collector of the San Francisco Academy sent specimens from three 

 different localities, it can not he very rare in the island. 



ELAPHE RUFODORSATA (Cantor). 

 (Herpet. Japan, 1907, p. 310.) 



Not recorded from Formosa since Swinhoe's time, lie sent speci- 

 mens from Tamsui to British Museum. 



ELAPHE TiENIURUS Cope. 



(Herpet. Japan, 1007, p. 319.) 



The record of this species in Formosa still rests on the two speci- 

 mens in Museum Senckenbergianum in Frankfort-on-the-Main.
