In the museum there is a specimen of this snake, which 
evidently is the Linnean type-specimen, although it is not 
marked with the Linnean label. It agrees completely with 
LINNZv$'s description and figure of Boas caninus. 
Total length 1440 mm. Tail 150 mm. Sq. 66. V. 203. GC. 77. 
Crotalus horridus. 
Described by LInnzvs in Mus. Ad. Frid. I, pa ST. 
From Mus. Drottn. there are two jars labeled Crotalus 
horridus, one of which contains a head in a rather bad con- 
dition, which, however, does not belong to any Crotalus 
(possibly it is the head of a Lachesis mutus (1:.) DAup.). In 
the other jar we find a tail of a rattle-snake; the rattle 
has 12 horny rings, on the tail there are 28 shields.
