26. Eutxnia proxima B. and G. Garter snake. 
Hab. Central United States to Mexico. 
One specimen. Received in exchange from Mr. 
Julius Hurter. 
27. Eutsenia macrostemma megalops (Kenn.). Kennicott's 
garter snake. 
Hab. Southwestern United States. 
Three specimens. Presented by Mr. Herbert Brown, 
Tucson, Arizona.

Hab. Central United States. 
Seven specimens. Received in exchange from Mr. 
Julius Hurter.

Hab. South Africa.

30. Botlirops atrox (Linn.). Deadly snake. 
Hab. South America. 
Two specimens. Purchased in September at the 
same time with three other Bothrops, which are 
believed to be B. lanceolatus — the dreaded Fer de 
lance of Martinique and St. Lucia and B. brasil- 
iensis. The identity of these snakes is, however,

a more detailed examination than can readily be 
made on the living specimen. They are of much

Other additions, worthy of mention, have been two 
Marcy's garter snakes, a Mexican pine snake, and an unde- 
termined garter snake presented by Mr. Herbert Brown, of
