Distribution.—This snake seems to be restricted to the island 
of Formosa, where it has been taken at Shinchiku, Suishako 
and Kosempo. The continental species, C. macclellandiu, has 
been found from India to Fokien, China. 
This species is named for Robert Swinhoe who sent the 
first specimen to the British Museum. 
Hemibungarus japonicus (Gunther) 
We have received four specimens of Hemibungarus from 
Amami O shima. Numbers 22063 and 22089 have only the 
middorsal black line without any indication of lateral lines. 
No. 22090 has, in addition to the central dorsal line which 
ends on the basal third of the tail, a few blackish dots along 
the adjacent borders of the third and fourth rows of scales. 
No. 14987 shows the midline and a narrow, though very dis- 
tinct, trace of a lateral line on the third and fourth rows of 
scales. The blackish rings on the body are fourteen in two 
specimens, and thirteen in two; and two and three on the tail. 
No. 22063 has only twenty-seven urosteges; otherwise the 
scale-counts are within the known range of this form.
