so convinced that it was a krait hitherto undescribed, that he carried it 
about for seven years from station to station till, through his kindness, it 
finally reached our hands, Until such time as we have collected more speci- 
mens and can positively separate it from B. ceruleus, we propose to refer to it 
as Bungarus coeruleus, variety magnimaculata, Length—4! (1); 4'-32" (1), 
Anterior chin shields—larger than posterior (2), and in contact with four 
lower labials (2). Ventrals—-226 (1); 228 (1). Variety—semifasciatus. 
One specimen from Rangoon (spirit specimen, old). Postoculars—1 Kh, 
(two confluent), Anterior chin shields—contact four lower labials, 
Sub-caudals—54, 
(4) Bunearus FAscIATUs.—Seven Specimens from Rangoon and districts 
L, B, and U. B. Length—5’-9” ; tail 53”, This was an enormous specimen, 
and was flushed near the Chinese Cemetery, Rangoon, and was surrounded by 
natives. It took to water (a shallow pool), and refused to budge in spite of 
stones and other missiles thrown at it. It made no attempt to escape, and was 
finally despatched with a shot gun, 
(5) CALLOPHIS MACCLELLANDII.—One specimen from the Pegu Yomas 
(hills), Frontal—32-3 parietals, Anterior chin shields—contact four labials, 
Ventrals—229. Colour—light red with thirty-one thin black white-edged 
bands round body and four round tail, These black bands are complete (é.c,, 
ventral) and one scale in breadth, The intervals are 6—7 scales broad and 
have a small black spot on each side midway. A broad black collar with 
equally broad white bands across head behind eye, anterior to which the head 
is again uniform black excepting labials, which are white. 
Under parts pale pinkish-yellow with large black islets implicating 3-4 
ventrals between each black band in whole length, Chin and throat uniform 
whitish, 
This specimen was most unfortunate: he was trodden on by a wounded 
elephant while going over soft ground, and despite this fact was undamaged. 
It was, indeed, bad luck to be bottled after such a narrow escape. 
(6) CALLOPHIS MACULICEPS.—Two specimens, Moulmein and Rangoon, 
Ventrals--185 (1); 188 (1). 
(7) CaNnToRIA VIOLACEA,—One specimen from Wakema, L. B. Frontal— 
greater than distance to end of snout, Anterior chin shields——-contact four 
labials (L), Ventrals—260, Sub-caudals—53. Colour—the cross bands are 
pale yellow, and number 56 on body and 13 on tail. 
(8) CrRBERUS RHYNCHOPS.—Twenty-two specimens from Rangoon, 
Moulmein, and Myaungmya, L, B. 
This species is extremely common in Rangoon, and judging from the numbers 
that we have met with in certain creeks connected with the Rangoon river, 
they must exist in many thousands. We have been accustomed in our 
evening walks to visit frequently one little creek in particular, This cliannel 
is about 10 yards across where it enters the river, but half a mile inland
