Fam. CoLUBRiDyE. Dr. Gunther, wlio, in his ^Colubrine 
Snakes,'’ distinguished the Coronallidi^, Coluhridce^ Dryadida^, and 
Natricid(B as separate families, unites them now into one family, 
Colubrid(e, but admits them as groups, which, however, gradually 
pass into each other ; Bept. Brit. Ind. p. 220. 
Figures of species previously known : — 
Salvadora grahamii and Salvadora bairdii (Jan) are figured 
by Jan, 1. c. part i. pi. 3, Dr. Gunther considers the latter as 
an individual variety of the former (Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 
1863, Nov. p. 349).

Remarks on species and genera known : — 
Ablabes. I)r. Giinther has recognized Calamaria eoi'onella (Schleg.), and 
refers it to Ablabes, so that his former determination of this species (Colubr. 
Snak. p. 6) proves to be erroneous, lie adds that Ilomalosoma eoronelloides 
(Jan) is only an accidental variety of this species, and that rothii (Jan) 
is not specifically distinct from Ablabes modestus (Martin) ; Proc. Zool. Soc. 
1864, p. 489. 
Enicognatkus (D. & B.) and Trachischium (Gthr.) are referred by Gunther 
to Ablabes, Bept. Brit. Ind. p. 223. . 
Ablabes Sagittarius, Cantor, has lately received a new name by Jan, viz. 
Enicognathus grayi: see Giinther, I, c. p. 227. 
• Cantor’s Hurriah sanguiventer (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1839, p. 62) has not yet 
been rediscovered, but Dr. Giinther has found a drawing of the head of this 
snake in the British Museum, which is reproduced by him, Bept. Brit. Ind. 
p. 222. 
The genus Ilydrophohus (Gthr.) proves to have been founded on a species 
of Odontomus: see Giinther, 1. c. p. 234. 
Heterodon histricus (,Tan). Dr. Steindachner describes and figures a snake 
which he considers to be a variety of this species. Yerhandl. zool. hot.
