Poison. — This is known to prove fatal to man, but the literature on 

 this very common species makes remarkably few references to cases 

 of its bite. The reason must be assigned, in great measure, to the 

 inability of medical men to recognise it. Rogers'* estimates that the 

 poison is nearly twice as virulent as that of the binocellate cobra.
