ZEBOA. 



. Vipera Orientalis, Hebraeis Zeboa, Graecis Hycena dicta. Seb. 2. 

 t. 78. f. 1. 



OF the size and general appearance of the com- 

 mon Viper, but differing in colour, being of a pale 

 yellow, with the marks on the head, dorsal band, 

 and lateral spots, of a reddish chesnut colour : per- 

 haps no other than a variety of the Viper ; yet the 

 head is represented as covered in front with large 

 scales : native of the Indian islands. 



BOIQUATRARA. 



Serpens Indica Boiquatrara dicta. Seb. 2. t. 78. f. 4. 



EXTREMELY resembling the preceding, but of 

 larger size : colour cinereous yellow, with chesnut 

 coloured dorsal stripe, consisting of large well- 

 defined rhomboid spots touching each other : la- 

 teral spots, ovate, distinct, and reddish brown : 

 head marked by a divaricated linear stripe on the 

 top, the ends pointing backwards: perhaps, like the 

 former, a variety of the common Viper.
