There are three specimens from Mus. Drottn., labeled 
Coluber Aesculapii. "Two of these are identical with Erythro- 
lamprus aesculapii, the third is a specimen of HFlaps lemmni- 
scatus (1L.) ScHNEID.

Of the two specimens of Erythr. aesculapii the longer 
has been the type for the figure in Mus. Ad. Frid. On this 
specimen there are 16 pairs of black annuli, if those on the 
tail be counted. (It belongs to forma C. in BouL. cat.) The 
other specimen has 24 pairs of annuli and belongs to forma 
L. in BouLEnGER's catalogue, which form he pronounces to be 
identical with Linnaus's Coluber agilis. 
Coluber Buccatus. 
Described by Linnaus in Mus. Ad. Frid. I, p. 29. 
There is no Linnean type-specimen of this snake in the 
Royal Museum. 
Coluber aulicus. 
Described by Linnzus in Mus. Ad. Frid. I, p. 29, tabi 12, fig. 2, 
Syst. nat. Ed. X, p. 220, Ed: XII, p. 381. 
Syn. in BourL. Cat. Sn. I, p. 352, Lycodon aulicus (L.) Bore. 
(For other synonyms see BouL. loc. lic.) 
One specimen (a young-one) from Mus. Drottn. 
Total length: 250 min. Tail 45 mm. Sq. 177 VA1855 COD 
A brown band runs along the upper part of the labials 
from the nostril to behind the eye, for which reason I cannot, 
as BouLENGER does, declare LInnNaus's Coluber aulicus to be 
identical whith BouLENGER's forma A of Lycodon aulicus, 
but rather consider it as identical with his forma D. (= Lyco- 
don capucinus Borr, according to Bour.). 
Coluber lineatus. 
Described by Linnavs in Mus. Ad. Frid. I, p. 30, tab. 12, fig. 1 and | 
tab. 20, fig. 1, Syst. Nat. Ed. X, p. 221, Ed. XII, p. 382. ;
