In a jar from Mus. Drottningholmense, labeled Coluber 
vipera, we find, besides the above-mentioned specimen of this 
snake, the forepart of a specimen of Col. cerastes L. pro- 
bably put there by LIinNnNAUus. In the 10:th: and 12:th edi- 
tions of Syst. Nat., which are written later than Mus. Ad. 
Frid. II, LINNZUS again, however, distinguishes Col. cerastes, 
by which he means Hassrnovist's Coluber cornutus, from 
Coluber vipera. — LINNZUS'S name for this snake is Col. 
cerastes, not Col. cornutus, which latter is given by HASSEL- 
QVIST, yet on publishing the »Iter Palestinum» LINNaus did 
not alter the name. "The present name of this snake thus 
ought to be Cerastes cerastes (1L.). 
Coluber lebetinus. 
Described by LiInnzaus in Mus. Ad. Frid. II, p. 43. 
There is no Linnean specimen of this snake in the R. 
Museum. z 
Coluber Padera. 
Described by Linnaus in Mus. Ad. Frid. II, p. 44, Syst. Nat. Ed. X, 
p. 221, Ed. XII, p. 382. 
This Linnean type has not been identified by the authors. 
ÅA specimen from Mus. Drottningholmense is to be found here. 
This snake shows that Linnaus's Coluber Padera is identical 
with his Coluber eanus or with Pseudaspis eana (L.) COoPE.

Coluber Situla. 
Described by LInnavus in Mus. Ad. Frid. IT, p. 44, Syst Nat. Ed. X, 
p. 223, Ed. XII, p. 385. 
This type also is so imperfectly described that it could 
not be identified by the description alone. I am now able to 
prove that it is identical with Coluber leopardinus (BoNAP.) 
IBOUL. (BOUL. Cat. Sn. II, p. 41). 
It is a specimen of the striped form (= Col. quadrilineatus 
PALL. according to BouLEnGER). It differs from the figure of 
this one in JAN'S »Icon. générale des ophidiens», Livr, 13, pl. 5 
in narrower dark stripes on the back and by the fact that 
some sutures between the upper labials are darkcoloured.
