XIT. — List of the Snakes in the Zoological Museums of Lund 

 and Malmo, with Descriptions of new Species and a new 

 Genus. By Nils Rosen, Zool. Inst. Luiul. 



[Plates XI. & XII.] 



At the request of the Director of the Zoological Museum of 

 Lund, Prof. D. Bergendal, I have determined and revised 

 the collections of snakes in that Museum. The specimens 

 not determined belong principally to collections made by 

 Dr. Hj. MoUer in Java (18D7), by Dr. N. Hoist in West 

 Australia (1897), and by Bar. Eggers in Ecuador. Through 

 the kindness of Dr. H. Walleiigren I have furtlicr had the 

 opportunity of examining some snakes in the Museum of 

 Malmo. I have found five species and one genus not previ- 

 ously described. A description of these and notices respecting 

 some specimens which differ from the typical examples form 

 tiie subject of this paper. As regards the systematic classifi- 

 cation and nomenclature, I have followed G. A. Baulenger, 

 ' Catalogue of the Snakes in the British Museum/ vols, i.-iii. 

 (1893-96). Some snakes were presented by private indi- 

 viduals, without any information as to habitats.
