Bungarus flaviceps, Cantor, p. 112; Boul. Cat. Snakes, iii. 
p-. 371. 
I obtained one specimen from Province Wellesley. Ventrals 
237 ; subcaudals 53, of which the first 16 were single and the 
remainder double, except the 19th, 29th, 30th, 31st, and 32nd.

in length.

Borneo, and Java. 
96. NAIA TRIPUDIANS, Merr. 
Naja lutescens, Cantor, p. 117. 
Naia tripudians, Boul. Cat. Snakes, iii. p. 380. 
Cantor says this species is found in Penang, Singapore, and the 
Peninsula, and that the brown variety prevails at Penang and the 
black at Singapore. Several residents in the Settlements have told 
me the same thing. The largest Cobra I met with was a black 
one in Singapore, 1372 mm. long. Mr. Ridley caught in the 
Botanical Gardens, Singapore, a Cobra in the act of swallowing a 
Macropisthodon rhodomelas. A Cobra that I obtained from Kulim, 
Kedah, belonged to a third colour variety, C. 6. in Boulenger’s 
‘Catalogue of Snakes,’ 
Hab. Southern Asia, from Transcaspia to China and the 
Malay Archipelago. »*

Cantor records this species from Penang Hill and Province 
Wellesley, and there is a specimen in the British Museum from 
Singapore from Dr. Dennys. From all accounts the Hamadryad 
is still common in the hills of Penang, and I have seen several 
skins of large individuals killed near Taiping, Perak.

sula and Archipelago.
