SNAKES FROM DEHLI. 25 



28. Lycodon aulicum L. 

 One specimen in Dr. Hageu's collection. 



29. Odontomus subannulatus Schl. 

 One specimen was captured in Laboean. 



30. Ophites subcinctus Boie. 

 Two specimens in Dr. Hagen 's collection. 



31. Leptognathus laevis Boie. 



Three specimens from Laboean; with one of them the 

 anterior large shields on the middle-line are found to be 

 of a white colour, whilst farther up many series of dark 

 coloured scales are placed alternatively with as many series 

 of white ones. 



32. Dipsas drapiezi Boie. 

 Two specimens in Dr. Hagen's collection. 



33. Dipsas dendrophila Reinw. 

 Represented by one specimen in both collections. 



34. Elaps furcatus Schneid. 

 Three specimens in Dr. Hagen's collection. 



35. Elaps bivirgatus Schl. 



One specimen from Laboean. — Dr. Hagen describes in his 

 article on the venomous snakes of Dehli (already quoted) 

 a third species of the genus Elaps having a red belly 

 and a black coloured back. Along the middle of the 

 back runs a black liue , and each flank is provided with 

 three white-coloured longitudinal stripes. As none of our 

 specimens agree with this description , I cannot make out 

 which species Dr. Hagen had in view ; perhaps it was Elaps 

 tetrataenia Bleeker.
