REPTILES AND BATRACHIASN FROM PENINSULAR SIAM 161 



Museum there is a specimen labelled China, presumably the one 

 referred to by Giinther as " said to be from China. " All the others in 

 the collection are from the Malay Peninsula and Archipelago. Moc- 

 quard does not mention it in his list from Indo-China. Unless, there- 

 fore, other specimens have since been obtained to support the state- 

 ment, it would appear probable that this snake does not range north 

 of the Malay J'eninsula.

It has not been obtained elsewhere in Siam. The distribution 

 which is recorded of this snake, as having been found in Southern 

 India, but otherwise not outside the Malayan region, is remarkable. 

 The Indian record is based, I believe, on Col. Bdddome's specimen 

 from Wynad, Malabar, but as Wall has now shown, quite a number 

 of snakes recorded by the Colonel as coming from S. India, do not 

 belong there.

All of them have 19 rows of scales in mid-body. I have not 

 met with this snake in any other part of Siam.

Mr. Aagaard tells me it is a common snake upon the estate. A 

 female obtained in July contained 2 eggs, narrow and nnicli elongated. 

 The species is not known further north.
