_L he collection, embracing only 17 species, all without de- 

 finite locality, adds but httte to our knowledge of the Bornean 

 snakes, except that it throws some light on the individual 

 variation of the scutellation. The counts have been made by 

 Miss Doris Cochran, Aid in the Division of Reptiles, United 

 States National Museum.
