HOPLOCEPHALIJS FLAGELLUM, McCoy ? 



The little Whip Snake. Proc. Zool. Vict., Dec. II. I have 

 received only two specimens of this little Snake from Mr. H. 

 T. Morris, Anlaby, which differ a little from Prof. McCoy's 

 description of the above mentioned species, and therefore I am 

 not sure if my snake is the same or not, as I have not seen the 

 type specimens. Prof. McCoy mentioned that it seems to be 

 very local in its distribution.
