46. Stegonotus modestus Schleg. 



Launch Camp, Setekwa E., and Camp III, Utakwa R., 2500 ft. (Wollaston Exped.). 



47. Stegonotus plumbeus Macleay. 



A single specimen, 144 cm. long, from the Launch Camp (Wollaston Exped.), 

 agrees with the definition of this species, founded on a specimen from the Herbert R., 

 Queensland, in having nine upper labials, third, fourth, and fifth entering the eye ; 

 but in all other respects it agrees so well with S. -modestus that it does not appear to 

 me improbable that S. plumbeus may have to be united with S. modestus. Ventrals 211 ; 

 subcaudals 67 pairs.
