CAIOUTTA : PBINTBD AT THE BAPTIST MISSION PRESS, 41, LOWBK circular' ROAD. INTEODUCTION. The following is a mere List of the Snakes in the Indian Museum ; it has not seemed necessary to give descriptions or the synonymy of the various species, this having in the case of the Indian forms been quite recently, thoroughly done by Mr. Boulenger in his Reptiles of British India ; and in the case of the exotic forms neither are our collections large enough, nor is my knowledge sufficiently extensive for the task. I have therefore contented myself with giving in each case the Author of the specific name and a reference to the best description, not necessarily the original one, to which I have been able to get access. The following table shows the number of the species and specimens of Indian and Exotic Snakes in. the Museum: Indian Exotic Total ... Numbers. of species. of specimens. 210 140 2615 386 350 3001 The number of Snakes described by Mr. Boulenger in his recent work on the Reptiles of the Indian Empire and Ceylon amounts in all to 264, to which number from an examination of the Snakes in the Indian Museum I have been able to add thirteen, of which five are new and eight are exotic species not mentioned in Mr. Boulenger's work,* and one species, Dipsas multifasciatus, which had formerly been confused with Dipsas ceylonensis has been discriminated. This raises the number of Snakes in the Indian Empire to 278 ; of these, as will be seen from above, the Museum possesses examples of 210 so that there are still 68 defi- ciencies wanting to make the collection of the Museum quite complete. Many of these 68 species of which a list will be found below are unique or very rare, and it will probably be * The following are the thirteen snakes added to the Indian Fauna : Ablabes stoliczkae, Simotes parpnrascens, Simotes woodmasoni, Zaocoys tenasseri- mensis, Tropidonotue vibakari, Tropidoaotas pealii, Tropidonotua nicobarensis, Tropidonotns triangnligerus, Dipaas oynodon, Dipsas fasca, Megaerophis flarioeps, Amblyoephalns carinatus and AmWycephalna moellendorfSi. ir iNTEomrcTioN. long before tlie Museum collection can be rendered quite complete. The number of type specimens in the Museum amounts in all to 30, of which 12 were described by Blyth, 5 by Blan- ford and myself respectively, 3 by Sfcoliczka and Anderson and 2 by Theobald. A complete list of the types also will be found below. The classification adopted in the following list is that of •Mr. Boulenger's in his Reptiles of British India ; this classi- fication however includes only those genera found within the limits of the Indian Empire, but I have endeavoured, as far as possible, to interpolate the exotic genera into their rightful positions. In this, however, I fear, I may have made a good many errors, still there is absolutely no modern standard work on Snakes, and I thought it better to try and adopt a new classification than to fall back on obsolete arrangements. With regard to nomenclature I have of course followed Boulenger throughout for Indian Snakes ; for North Ameri- can Snakes I have made use of a monograph by Mr. Garman published in the 8th volume of the Memoirs of the Museum of the Comparative Zoology at Harvard College, Cambridge, Mass., for the Australian Snakes I have used Krefft's Snakes of Australia and for European forms Schreiber's Herpetologia Europaea; for African and South American forms I have been unable to find any more modern general work than Giinther's Catalogue of Colnbrine Snakes in the British Museum, and Gray's previous Catalogue of the non-colubrine forms. The principal donors of the snakes in the Indian Museum" are as follows : — Col. Godwin Austen, Mr. S. E. Peal and Capt. J. Butler from Assam ; Col. Beddome from the South India, Mr. Blanford from Persia and also from many other pa'-ts of India; Mr. J. Gammie from Sikkim, other donors from various parts of India are Dr. Anderson, Mr. W. Theobald, Dr. F. Stoliczka and Sir J. Fayrer. Description of the new species and notes on the Geogra- phical distribution and other points of interest, made out during the examination of the Indian Museum collection, will be found in a paper in the 60th volume of the Journal of the Asiatic Society which is referred to throughout in the List. In conclusion I have to thank Mr. Boulenger of the British Museum for help in naming several of the most in- teresting forms and for many hints and suggestions.
