* The following are the alterations and additions to the present paper, 

 necessitated by Dr. Giinther's Paper in the ' Annals and Magazine of Natural 

 History ' for June 18G8 ; and it is much to be regretted that, on account of the 

 delay which prevails in the publication of the Journal of the Asiatic Society of 

 Bengal, that gentleman is unable to quote the reference of some species named 

 by mo in a Catalogue which, short as it is, has already, in spite of all elTorts of 

 mine and remonstrances, been three years in press, to the discredit of the Society 

 and the vexation of those interested therein.

Two specimens of this snake were referred by me to C. quadrimaculata, D. & B., 

 and presented characters which inclined me to consider tlie former a synonym 

 only; but I freely defer to Dr. Giinther's judgment after liis examination of my 

 specimens.
