Volume 1 (1895), Vertebrados, devotes pages 399 to 454 to a list 

 of the crocodilians, batrachians, turtles, lizards, and snakes. Among 

 the species of snakes listed a great many records have not been 

 authenticated. It is not improbable that Casto de Elera had before 

 him a collection of snakes from southern Asia, or other extra-Phil- 

 ippine localities, which purported to come from the Philippine Islands. 

 At the present time, however, there are no foreign snakes in the col- 

 lections of the University of Santo Tomas.

 names of snakes supposedly poisonous, and records various real or 

 superstitious medicines and cures.
