63. Calamaria pavimentata, D. & B. 
Jalor, Sai Kau (Nawngchik), and Batang Padang (South Perak). 
The black line along the lower surface of the tail may be absent. 
‘ Not uncommon among the rubbish under native houses in the Patani 
States, where small specimens are sometimes called ular lima kendiri^ “ five 
kendiri snakes/’ a kendiri being three cents, or considerably less than a penny. 
This curious name is given them because it is believed that the effects of their 
bite can be remedied for medicine worth fifteen cents.’ 
64. Hypsirhina plumbea, Boie. 
Jalor. 
‘ Essentially aquatic, but often found under dead trees some distance 
from water. On Cape Patani it is common in the freshwater pools, on the 
bottom of which it may often be seen, lying stretched out almost straight.’ 
65. Hypsirhina bocourtii, Jan. 
Jalor. 
‘ Often found with Acrochordus javanicus in swamps and pools. The 
superior brilliance of coloration of young specimens is remarkable.’ 
66. Dipsadormorphus dendrophilus, Boie. 
Jalor. 
The specimens belong to the var. melanotus of Bleeker. 
‘ This nocturnal snake is very vicious, and drums with its tail on the 
ground when alarmed, but its food consists of small mammals, frogs, lizards, 
other snakes, fish, and, curiously enough, slugs.’* 
67. Dipsadomorphus cynodon, Boie. 
Jalor. 
‘ The specimen was taken coiled up on a bush about four feet above the 
ground. Unlike all the specimens of T). dendrophilus which I have seen 
in life, it was sluggish in demeanour, and made little attempt to escape, 
though it had evidently not had a recent meal.’ 
68. Dipsadomorphus pallid us, sp. nov. 
Anterior palatine and mandibular teeth enlarged, but less than in Z). 
eynodon. Rostral broader than deep, well visible from above, internasals
