Coluber natrix. 
Described by Linnzus in Mus. Ad. Frid. I, p. 27. 
There is no specimen of this snake bearing the Linnean- 
label to be found in the museum. This is also the case with 
regard to the following. 
Coluber agilis. 
Described by Linnzaus in Mus. Ad. Frid. I, p. 27. 
Coluber mycterizans. 
Described by LInN=US in Mus. Ad. Frid. p. 28, tab. 5, fig. 1, tab. 19, 
fig. 2, Syst. Nat. Ed. X, p. 226, Ed. XII, p. 389. 
Syn. according to Bour. Cat. Sn. III, p. 182, Dryophis mycterizans 
(L.) BouL. 
In the jar in the museum, which is labeled Coluber myc- 
terizans from Museum Drottningh., there are two snakes, but 
neither of these represents BouLENGER's Dryophis mycterizans. 
One is Dryophis xanthozona Bore and the other is Oxybelis 
acuminatus WiEbD. From LINNZU$S's description and figure on 
table 5 in Mus. Ad. Frid. it is evident that the former was 
the type for his description of Coluber mycterizans.? His 
description of the colour corresponds with this specimen (>color 
supra carneus, linia longitudinali ferruginea, fasciis in antica 
parte subcoerulescentibus»), although the ferruginous band on 
the back is rather discoloured. The number of the ventral 
shields agrees also. The caudals are stated: by LINNZUS to 
be 39; but it is evident that a unit has been omitted before 
39, which should be 139, as this number corresponds with 
that of this specimen.? 
1 The tail is mutilated. 
2 The figure on table 19 might possibly represent the specimen of Ozxyb. 
acuminatus; this is, however, very uncertain. 
3 In Syst. Nat. LInNNaus states the caudal shields at 167, but he must 
have counted the shields of some specimen of another species.
