APPENDIX 



TO THE 



CATALOGUE OF COLUBEINE SNAKES. 



This Appendix contains an account of the specimens of Colu- 

 brine Snakes collected by the British Museum during the printing 

 of this Catalogue, and received too late for insertion in their 

 proper places. By these additions some alterations became ne- 

 cessary, and means were afforded for describing some new species.
