spots. The head is of a fairly uniform colour. The only 
character which differs from the descriptions is the number 
of the caudal shields. BouLENGER mentions these shields as 
varying between 28 and 31, but as he only had three speci- 
mens at his disposal, these figures are of no great importance. 
On this specimen the caudal shields are only 22 in number, 
which, however, is a slight difference. The number of the 
ventrals agrees with those before found. -— Therefore I may 
pronounce LIiNN2aus's Coluber Calamarius to be a synonym of 
GÖNTHER's Oligodon Templetonii. Its true name would then 
be Oligodon calamarius (L.).

There is one specimen from Mus. Drottningh. It differs 
a little in the number of the caudal shields frota what Lin- 
NEUS stated. They are 27, instead of 20 according to LINNEUS. 
In other respects this specimen agrees completely with LIiN-
