foot-hills. There are three specimens in the Abor collection which 

 agree well with Major Wall's specimen from Dibrugarh now in the 

 collection of the Indian Museum. They are from Kobo (400 ft.), 

 from between Janakmukh and Balek and from the Siyom valle}'" 

 below Damda (f./. 1.400 ft.), 



34. Pseudoxenodon macrops (Blyth). 



Boulenger, Fauna, p. 340. 



A specimen was taken near Sidi stream (alt. ca. 2,000 ft.) by 

 the 32nd Sikh Pioneers. The species is very common in the 

 Darjiling district from the base of the foot-hills up to 5,000 ft., 

 occurring also in the hills of Assam and Burma but apparent^ in 

 smaller numbers. 



35. Tropidonotus platyceps, Blyth. 



Boulenger, Fauna, p. 344. 



A very variable species common in the Himalayas up to 

 10,000 ft.; also occurs in the Khasi Hills and the mountains of 

 Burma. A specimen was taken at Upper Rotung. 



36. Tropidonotus khasiensis, Boulgr. 



Boulenger, Fauna, 1^. 344, and/i«/i. Mus. Genova (2nd .ser.), xiii, 



p. 322. 

 A scarce species hitherto only found in the Khasi and Karin 

 Hills. One was taken at Rotung b\' Capt. de Courcy. 



37. Tropidonotus piscator (Schneid.). 

 Boulenger, Fauna, p. 349. 



Young specimens of this very common and widely distributed 

 species were taken at Rotung and Upper Rotung (1,300 and ca. 

 2,000 ft.). It occurs in the W. Himala^^as up to at least 4,500 ft. 



Subfamily Dipsadomorphinae.

A specimen was taken at Dibrugarh. It is not improbable 

 that this snake is actually restricted to Assam, for Cantor's 

 localities are notoriously inaccurate and the record of this species 

 from Penang apparently rests on a specimen from his collection in 

 the British Museum. Bengal and Assam were not clearly distin- 

 guished by many of the older naturalists who wrote on Indian 

 reptiles.
