 In addition to the specimen (No. 60575) collected by C. R. Kellogg 

 "within 200 miles of Foochow," already recorded by me, the 

 National Museum has recently received from C. H. Barlow an adult 

 specimen, with reproduced tail, from Moh-Kan-Shan, Chekiang. 

 This specimen which is without cross-markings is (in alcohol) of a 

 pale bluish gray above, slightly darker on the six median scale rows; 

 at about halfway between dark bluish gray stripe begins on the 

 center of the fourth scale row from the lateral groove, which m- 

 creases in width and intensity backards until on the side of the tail it 

 occupies the adjacent halves of third and fourth scale rows. The 

 head scales are essentially like Boulenger's figure of the type, except 

 that the occipitals are slightly larger and better differentiated. 

 There are 104 transverse series of body scales counted from begin- 

 ning of laterial groove to vent; dorsals and ventrals, in a series 

 around the body, are 16 and 10 respectively.
