latter are pointed out under that species; from the former it 

 differs by a very much reduced number of subcaudals and ven- 

 trals, and the undivided anal; the coloration also is totally 

 different. Its closest affinity seems to be H. beddomii, which 

 also has an undivided nasal and divided anal. This differs 

 in having the fourth and fifth labials entering the eye, and 

 the markings and colorations are quite different. I take 

 pleasure in dedicating this handsome species to Mr. Clark 

 Burks, w^ho collected the unique specimen and presented it to me.
