Mr. Wm. T. Davis exhibited four milk snakes, Ophiboltis doliatus tri- 

 angulus Daudin, found lying dead in the road that runs along the north- 

 erly side of St. Andrews churchyard on December 27, 1910. They had 

 probably been killed in the cemetery and thrown into the road. One of 

 the snakes was a trifle over 3 feet 6 inches in length, which is above the 

 average for the species. The second one in size was 3 feet in length and 

 the two others were smaller. 



The meeting then adjourned.
