 med of four spots, the middle pair of which are largest and 

 confluent ; belly yellow , immaculate.

Journ. As. Soc. Beng. Lx. 1891, p. 234, pi. Yl, fig. 1. 



District of the Karin Bia-po. 



A single male specimen, measuring 600 millim., the tail 255. 

 Yentrals 150 ; subcaudals 134. 



I was entirely mistaken in referring this Snake to A. frenatm 

 (Zool. Ree. 1891, Rept. p. 11). The specimen now before me, 

 which agrees in every essential pohit with M.'' W. Sclater's excel- 

 lent description, drawn up from two specimens, one of which is 

 from the Naga hills of Assam, represents a species intermediate 

 between A. tricolor, Schleg., and A. frenatus, Gthr. The snout 

 is long and much depressed as in the former species , which 

 differs in the absence of a loreal shield.
