Eostral as broad as high ; six snpralabials, the fifth the 

 largest ; anterior sublinguals a little longer than the posterior ; 

 ventrals 167, candals 23. Light brown above with 23 large 

 blackish transverse spots ; between these, mostly along the 

 sides of the body are smaller spots and in addition each scale 

 is heavily edged with black. Head dark olive with blackish 

 and yellow markings ; tail above almo>t entirely black. Below 

 yellowish. 



This specimen combines the scale characters of C. scmiannn- 

 hita and C. picteti Peracca, thus confirming the view advanced 

 by Boulenger that the two should be united ; the black edging 

 to the dorsal scales moreover suggests the possibility of a colour 

 form in which the scales, instead of being merely edged, are 

 entirely black. The specimen would then, except in the propor- 

 tions of the rostral shield, entirely accord with C. leucocephaJa 

 Dum. and Bib. I strongly suspect that this latter name will 

 have ultimately to be adopted for both C. semiauuulata and 

 C. picteti.
