INDIAN SERPENTS.

No. XV. 
COLUBER A. 
Scuta Abdominalia 146 
Squama Subcaudales 82 
Called by the natives at Tranquebar, JVeer Pamboo. 
at Calcutta, Dooblee. 
at Bombay, 
The length one foot two inches and a half, of which the tail measures three inches 
three-fourths. 
The colour a dusky lead, with numerous black dots on the back and the sides. The 
abdomen and under part of the tail white. 
COLUBER B. 
Scuta Abdominalia 143 
Squama Subcaudales 83 
Called by the natives at Tranquebar, JVeer Pamboo. 
at Bombay, 
The length one foot two inches, of which the tail measures three inches four lines. 
The colour here is less dark, and more spots of dusky yellow are interspersed than 
in the last subject. Besides the two black lines from each orbit, two specks on the 
semicordate laminae are found in both the above subjects, as in all of the same size 
which I have seen ; but not always in larger subjects. 
It were superfluous to enter into a more detailed description, after that given of the 
Ourdia, to which species both certainly belong. 
OBSERVATIONS. 
Under the name Neer Pamboo, two other serpents, very different from the Ourdia , 
have been received from Tranquebar. 
The one, the Karoo Bokadam , No. XVII. Coromandel Serpents. 
The other Ghittee. Continuation of Indian Serpents, No. IV.
