SNAKES OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS 



Color in alcohol.— Above greenish lavender, more greenish 

 anteriorly; skin between scales lavender with the skin whitish 

 between alternating transverse rows ; belly grayish or greenish, 

 with two distinct cream stripes running entire length of body 

 on outer side of ventrals. 



Reviarks.— This is the typical Dryophis prasiims and agrees 

 well with Eoulenger's description of the species in having 1 

 preocular, 3 labials entering eye, and the divided anal ; the varia- 

 tion in ventral counts as shown in the table is 209 to 222; of 

 subcaudals 174 to 202, all of which counts fall well within Eou- 

 lenger's limits.
