In this paper notes are given of the following species : Zyphlops 
Horsfieldi, 7. bothriorhynchus, T. braminus and T. pammeces. 
T. porrectus, n. sp.—18 longit. rows of scales ; 406-440 transverse 
rows on btdy, 11-12 on the tail; head-shields regular; eye very 
indistinct ; circumference , to 3, of length of body; leaden or 
olivaceous brown above, paler below and on the head; mouth and 
below tail pure white. Bengal and N. W. Provinces. 
T. Andamanensis, n. sp.—18 longit. rows of scales, about 390 
transverse rows on body and 17 on the tail ; head shields above regu- 
lar; one separate lower pre-ocular and one sub-ocular; 4 labials, 
the third larger than the fourth ; circumference a little less than 
zsth of total length ; eye indistinct ; blackish brown above, vinaceous

head-shields regular ; eyes perfectly indistinct ; uniform light brown ; 
India. 
Simotes bicatenatus.—Ablabes collaris— Compsosoma Hodgsoni.— 
Zamenis fasciolatus.— Tropidonotus quincunctiatus. Of this last species 
a variety is described and figured, with the posterior frontals 
united into one shield. 
T. bellulus, n. sp.—19 rows of small, sharply carinate, scales, head-

above with two series of little dark spots along the back, all 
ventrals black at the base ; Pegu (Mr. 8, Kurz). 
T. Himalayanus.—T, junceus—T. subminiatus. A unicoloured 
large variety is figured and described of the last species. 
TZ. macrops, Blyth, is the same as Z. macrophthalmus, Giinther, 
and most probably also identical with Z. Sikkimensis, Anderson. 
T. plumbicolor from Qualior. 
Psammophis condanurus. The N.-W. Sub-Himalayan variety is 
_ possibly the same as P. Leithii of Giinther, from Sind,
