COLUBER QUADRIVITTATUS. 91 
Schlegel thinks this snake may prove identical with the Coluber Alleghaniensis, 
to which, indeed, it bears considerable resemblance in form; but its colours are 
entirely different and are constant; its habits and geographical distribution are 
not the same: the Coluber Alleghaniensis lives constantly on the ground, but the 
Coluber quadrivittatus I have often met with on trees; the one belongs to the 
mountains, the other lives on the plains.
