Coluber severus. 
Described by Linn&aus in Mus. Ad. Frid. I, p. 25, tab. 8, fig. 1, 
Syst. Nat. Ed. X, p. 219, Ed. XII, p. 379. 
Syn. in Bour. Cat. Sn. II, p. 149, Xenodon severus (L.) ScHLEG. 
(For other synonyms see Bou. loc. cit.) 
One specimen from Mus. Drottn., a true Xenodon severus. 
Total length 280 mm. Tail 40 mm.! Sq. 21. V. 135. C. 411! 
LINNAUS'S statement, 170 ventral shields, must be a 
mistake. The specimen is from its damaged tail and from 
the presence of a frog in its stomach, so very characteristic 
that there can be no doubt that it is the Linnean type- 
specimen. 
Coluber Aurora. 
Described by Linnaus in Mus. Ad. Frid. I, p. 25, tab. 19, fig. 1, 
Syst, Nat: Ed. X, p. 219, Ed. XII, p. 379. 
Syn. in BouL. Cat. Sn. I, p. 321, Lamprophis aurora (L.) SMITH. 
(For other synonyms see BouL. loc. cit.) 
One specimen from Mus. Drottn. It is a true Lampr. 
aurora.

Coluber stolatus.

stolatus. 
Total length 490 mm. Tail 135 mm. Sq. 19. V. 144. OC. 76. 
The characteristics of the specimen agree with the de- 
scription in BouLENGER's catalogue, except that there are four 
postoculars on the right side instead of three. 
1! As already mentioned by LINNEUs, the tail of this specimen is evi- 
dently mutilated.
