[A very common species all over the country after leaving Lijji 

 Talao. 



In general the throat and the under surface of the body and thighs 

 were cobalt blue, fading in the dark but deepening in bright daylight ; 

 a round bright yellow spot, the size of a hemp-seed, on each side of the 

 neck behind the ear ; iris brown. Brownish diamond-shaped spots on 

 the back gave the animal, when at rest, some resemblance to an Echis. 

 All the specimens were caught on the ground, and though they some- 

 times hid under bushes, none were seen on bushes. In some specimens 

 eggs were present.]
