20 LL. G. ANDERSSON. CATAL. OF LINNEAN TYPE-SPECIMENS OF SNAKES. 
Syn. accord. to Bour. Cat. Sn. III, p. 537, Lachesis atrox (L.) Bour. 
(For other synonyms see BouL. loe. cit.) 
From Mus. Drottn. there are two specimens, labeled 
Coluber atrox. They agree completely with the description 
of Lach. atrox in BouLENGER'S catalogue, except for the scales, 
as to which they seem rather to correspond with Lachesis 
lanceolatus (LAcEP.) BouL. The fact is that the keels on the 
scales are low and extend nearly to the extremity of the 
scales. If we wish to distinguish the two species, judging 
by this character alone (the keels on the scales), the low- 
and long-keeled form ought to be named Lachesis atrox. I 
consider however this character as too slight a specific diffe- 
rence, especially as BouLENGER says that intermediate forms 
are met with.

There is one specimen of this snake from Mus. Drottn. 
Total.:length, 450. mm. ., Tail. 100 mm. .Sq: 17.., -V. 1885 4080 
, This is a specimen out of SEBA's museum and has been 
the type for his figure in »Thesaurus» tab. XVII, N:o 1. It 
probably eame with that part of SEBA's collections which 
was bought by ApoLnF FREDRIK and Lovisa ULRIKA in 1752. 
The type was first identified in 1896 by BouLENGER in his 
»Addenda» to the Catalogue of Snakes, in which he puts it 
! LINN2Uv8'S supposition that the tail was broken is probably not con- 
sonant with the fact.
