 dark brown with indistinct black variegations. Lower surface 

 black, with white borders to the ventrals; subcaudals white. 

 Length of head and body 300 mm.; tail 15 mm.

Calamaria Muellcri, Boulenger, Ann. Nat. Hist. (6) XVII 1896, p. 394; Proc. 

 Zool. Soc. 1897, pi. XIV, fig. i. 



Diameter of the eye greater than its distance from the 

 mouth; rostral as deep as broad; frontal much more long 

 than broad, twice as broad as a supraocular, as long as or 

 slightly shorter than the parietals; one prae- and one post- 

 ocular; five upper labials, third and fourth entering the eye; 

 mental and three lower labials in contact with the anterior 

 chin-shields; posterior chin-shields shorter, both pairs in contact. 

 Scales in 13 rows; ventrals 130 187; anal entire; subcaudals 

 ii 21. Tail ending in a point. 



Dark brown above, uniform or spotted with black, reddish- 

 brown or brick-red, the scales speckled and edged with black; 

 a black streak on each side of the head, passing through the 

 eye; upper lip white. Lower surface white, the ventrals spotted

Type-specimens examined in the British Museum. 



Habitat: Celebes (Loka-Bonthain Peak 3500 feet!, Indru- 

 laman 2000 feet, Bua Praeng, Luhu 1700 feet, between Lake 

 Posso and Tomini gulf, Macassar?). 



The specimens from Macassar referred by A. B. MEYER to 

 Calamaria gervaisii will probably be found to belong to 

 C. miilleri (BOULENGER, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1897).
