 laquelle on a ajouté un peu d'ammoniaque liquide ou méme 

 dans l'eau puré, ees Coccus donnent une matiére colorante

 Celle du Coccus cassiae est d'un rouge moins amarante que

CHARLES BEEG. 



Occupied in reclassifying the snakes of the eollection of 

 our Museum, I fincl that several generic ñames must be 

 changed or corrected, as will be seem by the following notes. 



1. Nardoana for Nardoa. 



The ñame of Nardoa established for a genus of Boidae by 

 J. E. Grray in the year 1842, cannot be retained, because the 

 same author two years ago (Dec. 1840) had already employed 

 it for a genus of Asteroidea, and I propose instead the ñame 

 of Nordoana for this genus, the only known species of which 

 must now stand as Nardoana boa (Schl.). 



2. Anomochilus for Anomalochilus. 



Dv. vaiL Lidth de Jeude not knowing probably that the 

 ñame of Anomalochilus was j^reoecupied for a genus of Co- 

 leóptera by Blanchard (1850), employed it for a genus of 

 Llysiidae in the year 1890, for which reason I now give it the 

 ñame of Anomochilus. The only known species of this genus 

 must therefore now be callecl Anomochilus Weberi (Lidth).
