Agkistrodon inokasen Beauvois. — The highland moccasin, as 

 it is called, seems to be well known to the farmers, but no 

 specimens were seen either by Professor Ruthven or the 

 writer. Rhoades, however, records two specimens from Sam- 

 burg and one from Raleigh. 



Agkistrodon piscivoriis (Lacepede). — The cotton-mouth 

 moccasin is common in the swamp lands everywhere, whether 

 wooded or not. Five specimens were taken near Henry and 

 many more were seen. There is a specimen in the National 

 Museum from Arlington, and Rhoades records one from Reel- 

 foot Lake.
