In spite of the low number of ventrals we regard this specimen as belonging 
to P. harriette with which it otherwise appears to agree in colour etc. 
Pseudelaps diadema ScHLEGEL. One specimen from Brisbane, Queensland. 
Denisonia nigrescens GÖNTHER. One specimen from Malanda, Queensland, 
Febr. 1913. It agrees well with the description, but there is a mesial blackish spot 
on each ventral forming together a dark central band on the otherwise light belly. 
Rhynchelaps fuscicollis n. sp. One specimen from Cairns, Northern Queens- 
land. 
Snout much depressed, prominent, rounded, with obtusely angular edge. Dia- 
meter of eye about two thirds of the distance from the mouth. Rostral large, 
broader than deep, the portion visible from above much shorter than its distance 
from the frontal. Internasals decidedly shorter than the prefrontals. The breadth 
of the frontal about equal to ?/s of its length, which latter is about equal to its 
distance from the end of the snout, and at the same time about equal to the length 
of the parietal. Nasal widely separated from the preocular by the prefrontal, which 
is in contact with second and third upper labials. Preocular well separated from 
the frontal. On pre- and two postoculars. Temporals 2—+2, the lower of the an- 
terior pair wedged in between the fifth and sixth upper labials. Six upper labials, 
third and fourth entering the eye. Three lower labials in contact with the anterior 
chin-shields; an azygous scale between the four chin-shields, which are small. Scales 
smooth in 15 rows. Ventrals 143; anal divided; subceaudals in 20 pairs. 
The colour of the living animal is not recorded, but it may have been reddish, 
the edges of the scales are somewhat darker and produce a reticulate pattern. A 
broad blackish brown blotch occupies about six transverse rows of seales on the 
upper neck, beginning on the transverse row behind the parietals. 
This species is perhaps most related to £h. fasciolatus from West-Australia, 
but differs very plainly in several respects, especially by its smaller number of scales, 
by the number of temporals, colour etc.
