The Amphisbcsna Maguitica, which Is simpl 
said to be a native of America, makes the neare

let, and yellow ; with a yellowish head, afe 
a purplish band over the eyes. The scalei 
however, form an insuparable barrier : nc 
can we, from the figure, venture to pronoune 
that Madame Merian's Viper is trulv an~A-^ 
phisbcena.
