Colour. Above, very dark purplish-brown, the colour emliiig in 

 a clear line of detnaroation two rows of scales above the ventrak. 

 Upper labials, throat and belly, yellow, with broad dark transverse bars, 

 which commence behind the neck, and are confined to the ventral 

 scales. This presumably is Var. D. of the Catalogue. 



The onlj' other recorded locality for this snake in the Penin- 

 sula is the Larut Hills, Perak, at 4,000 ft. and the three speci- 

 mens in the Selangor Museum from this localitjr, also belong to ^'^ar. D. 



Var. F. is a further development of Var. D., in which the 

 yellow interspaces between tlie transverse bands have been filled in, 

 80 as to make the belly entirely dark. This form in the process 

 of making is shown in one of my specimens, as well as in two of 

 those in the Selangor Museum, by a certain amount of dark mot- 

 tling in each yellow interspace.

 Bangnara, I'atani, 2 specimens ; Khao Wang Hip ( lower 



camp ), Nakon Sitamarat, 1 specimen. 



The species has not been met north of the last named locality. 

 Like D. cyaneus, it will devour other snakes. One of the individuals 

 from Bangnara, had eaten a Ch7-ysopBlea oriuita some 4 inches longer 

 than itself. 



72. DiPSAuoMORPiius CYXouoN (Boie). 

 Bangnara, Patani, 1 specimen. 



It accords very closely with var. B. in the Catalogue.
