28 NILS GYLDENSTOLPE, THE SWEDISH ZOOLOGICAL EXPEDITIONS TO SIAM. 1. SNAKES. 



This snake seems to be widely distributed in Siarn. I never saw it on buskes 

 or trees which is stated in Boulenger's »Fauna of the Malay Peninsula» but always 

 coiled up under some dry leaves or grass. It was verv sluggish and did not seem to 

 be very inclined to bite even when molested. One specimen was caught under the 

 pillow in my bed when I was camping at Meh Nja Min. During night-time it is, 

 however, more lively, but its bite is not considered as very dangerous even by the 

 Siamese.
