 One 5 (No. 5999) from Wray's camp. 



Previously known from the Eastern Himalayas to 

 Shan States (Burma), this is a considerable extension of 

 its range of distribution. Except in the longer loreal and 

 shorter anterior chin shields this specimen agrees entirely 

 with the description and with an example in the Indian 

 Museum (No. 16663) from Yunnan with which I have 

 compared it. 



Loreal nearly twice as long as deep; one praeocular, 

 not in contact with the frontal; temporals 2 -[- 2; anterior 

 chin shields a little shorter than the posterior: scales in 

 19 rows reducing to 13 before the vent. Ventrals 203, 

 anal 2, caudals 105 (extreme tip of tail missing). Maxil- 

 lary teeth 22 ; mandibular 25.
