CROCODILIANS, LIZARDS, AND SNAKES.

or bark of fallen trees, chiefly in forests. It is very harmless, and makes 

 no hostile demonstrations. It lives on insects, batrachians, reptiles, 

 etc. A Floridan specimen contained an Etujystoma carolinense. 



The specimen on which I proposed the species Biadophis dysopes is 

 somewhat abnormal. The internasals and prefrontals are rather wider 

 in proi)ortion to tlieir length than usual and the frontal plate is smaller 

 in relation to the superciliaries. The nuchal collar is narrower than 

 usual, covering only a part of a scale. Approximations to the scutal 

 characters are seen in other specimens, and the width of the collar is 

 not uniform. Until more is known of the form I let it remain with the 

 D.punctatus. Its habitat is nuknowu. 



A specimen with narrow collar interrupted on the middle line of the 

 nape was described as a distinct species by Dr. Giinther under the name 

 of 7>. occipitalis. A similar specimen has come under my notice. It is 

 referable to the D.punctatus.
