44. Ehips fr/liiiratus Ouni. ot l^ibr. (plato XVI, fig. TO). 
Sumatra: Kaju tanaiu, 1 spec. 
This species, described by Duméril et Bibron from a specimen captured 
at rniiang, is not, as far as I Icnow of, mentioned in any collection 
described afterwards. Though I could not compare our specimen with 
the typical one or with a figure of it, still the coloration agrees in so 
many points with Duméril s description, that I do not hesitate to class 
this little snake under Elaps trilineatus. It is remarkable for its slen- 
derness, on the thickest part of the body measuring only 3 c. m. to 
a length of 23 cm. The fight band running on the middle of the back , 
from the vertical to the end of the tail, is interrupted in nearly 50 
places. The white zig-zag line running between the outer row of scales 
and its preceding one is clearly visible as far as the analshield. The 
dark cross bands on the underside are very regularly disposed, and 
correspond with the interruptions of the light band, that runs on the 
back. Under part of the taü uniform red. Ventrals 271, an undivided 
anal and 14 pairs of subcaudals.

The specimen from Sumatra of a dark brown colour, with two black 
oval spots, surrounded with white, on the sides of the neck; but 
without curved line uniting these spots. The specimens from Flores 
of a bluish-grey colour without any coloration on the neck, very 
much resembfing specimens from Java, which also miss any trace of 
the markings on the neck.
