the Erpetologle genemle, where the species is confounded with B. cala- 

 mita, frequently found in the north of Germany and in this country. 

 B. viricUs is closely allied to B. pantherinus, and the circumstance 

 of both being found together in North Africa has almost alone pre- 

 vented me from uniting the species.

There are moreover in the Collection two specimens belonging to 

 Dr. Smith's Bvfo anr/mticeps, the condition of which does not allow 

 me to give an exact diagnosis ; but I am rather disposed to consider 

 this species as identical with B. pantherinus.
