# The Poisonous Snakes of India/ECHTS CARINATA

(Upload an image to replace this placeholder.)
ECHIS.
Echis carinata.
Of the genus Echis, the Echis carinata is the only Indian species. It prevails in the North-West Provinces, Punjab, Rajputana, Central India, Sind, and in some parts of the Madras Presidency. About Delhi its indigenous name is “Afåe" (Fayrer). By Russell it is figured under the name of "Horatta Pam." In Sind it is known as the "Kuppur." The genus is described by Günther as follows:~"Head covered with keeled scales; a pair of very small frontals behind the rostral shield. Nostril small, round, directed upwards, situated in a large nasal shield, which is subdivided behind the nostril. Sides of the head covered with keeled scales, two series of which are between the eye and the low upper labials. Scales much imbricate, strongly keeled, in from twenty-five to twenty-nine series; those in the lateral series have their tips directed obliquely downwards." "With these they make the rustling sound" (Fayrer). "Sub-caudals one-rowed." The species Echis carinata is described by Günther as follows:-“Brown or brownish grey, with a series of sub-quadrangular or ovate whitish spots, edged with blackish brown; a sub-semicircular whitish band on each side of each of the dorsal spots, enclosing a round, dark brown lateral spot. A pair of oblong brown, black edged spots on the crown of the head, convergent anteriorly; a brown spot below, and an oblique broad streak behind the eye. Belly whitish, with more or less numerous round brown specks. Ventrals, 149-154; sub-caudals, 21-26."
“The Echis," says Sir Joseph Fayrer, “is fierce and aggressive. It is always on the defensive, ready to attack; it throws itself into a double coil, the folds of which are in perpetual motion, and as they rub against each other, they make a loud rustling sound, very like hissing. This sound is produced by the three or four outer rows of carinated ​scales, which are very prominent, and point downwards at a different angle to the rest; their friction against each other causes the sound. This little viper does not, I think, hiss at all. Its fangs are very long and mobile, like those of the Daboia. Its eye has a peculiarly vicious appearance. . . . . It is a small viper; a specimen from the Indian Museum is twenty-two and a half inches in length and about three in circumference, though no doubt it has somewhat shrunk by the action of the spirit. . . . . It is very active, and can dart a considerable distance—a foot or more—to strike its prey: it is by far the most active and aggressive poisonous snake I have seen.

(Upload an image to replace this placeholder.)
HYDROPHIS CYANOCINCTA.
"Head of moderate size and width; neck and body rather elongate; generally two labial shields below the eye; two post-oculars (exceptionally confluent into one); two or more temporal-shields on the side of each occipital; two pairs of chin-shields, the anterior of which are in contact with each other; twenty-nine to thirty-three series of scales round the neck. Scales slightly imbricate, rhombic, faintly keeled; three on the highest part of the body, rather longer than high. Ventrals, 320–360—400-426, twice or thrice as large as the scales of the adjoining series; almost all are entire, not longitudinally divided, and bitubercular; four anal-shields, the outer of which are larger than the inner; terminal scale of the tail rather small or of moderate size. Greenish-olive on the back, yellowish on the sides and belly; trunk with from fifty to seventy-five black cross-bands, which are broadest on the back and broader than the interspaces of the ground colour; they are narrower on the sides, sometimes disappearing altogether with age on the sides and belly, or visible only as irregular spots on the ventral shields. In young and half-grown specimens they surround the body entirely, and are sometimes joined by a black band running along the whole line of the ventral shields. The head is greenish-olive above and yellowish on the sides; in the young, black variegated with yellow, the yellow colour sometimes forming a frontal and temporal band. This is one of the commonest sea-snakes, occurring on the coasts of Ceylon, Madras, in the Bay of Bengal, in the East Indian Archipelago, and in the seas of China and Japan. It attains to a length of more than six feet. Old males have a remarkably thick and rounded tail.”

(Upload an image to replace this placeholder.)
HYDROPHIS ROBUSTA.
"Head of moderate size and width; neck and body not elongate. Two or three upper labials below the orbit; one post-ocular; anterior temporal shield large; two pairs of chin-shields, which are in contact with one another. Thirty-one series of scales round the neck. Scales slightly imbricate, each with a subcentral tubercle; those on the highest part of the body are rounded or subtruncated behind, as high as long. Ventrals twice or thrice as broad as the scales of the adjoining scries, smooth, 310 in number. Terminal scale of the tail rather large. Trunk with thirty-five narrow, distant, black rings, extending round the belly, sometimes interrupted on the side and dilated on the back; head without markings in the adult; throat and belly whitish. This snake, of which we have examined two adult examples, six feet long, is found on the coast of the mainland of India, as well as in the Archipelago. It has been confounded with other species by all the previous herpetologists. The figure given by Fischer is very recognisable."

TO THE RIGHT
worshipfull, Syr Thomas Greasham Knight.
R. Rowlands wisheth continual encrease of renoumed worship and Vertue
After that I (Right worshipfull) had perused thys small Pamflet, conteyninge a briefe collection of the most useall and accustomable wayes, leadinge from the one notable Citie in Europe, to an other: being written with no smal labour and industry, and not without great cause very necessarily published in the high Almaine tongue, and the like also to be seene in the French, and Italian, I thought it a thing very uncurteous, and worthy of reproofe, to withhould so needefull a commoditie any longer from our voulgare spech, whereby I was the more imboldened to the finishing [A2v] therof, at such times as I might best attend upon the same. I have moreover, set downe the antiquitie of many cities worthy of memory, & the founders of their auncient monuments, the which I have diligently collected out of sundry approved aucthors. It resteth now that I therein most humbly crave your good worships furtheraunce, (as of one most worthy, for your great experience and travailes, into forreyne Realmes, in the Princes waighty affaires, as it is not unknowne) so that therby it might the better, under your protection, passe forth into the handes of many. And although (right worshipfull) this briefe collection, doth contain no pleasant history, nor delightful new devised matter, yet doubtlesse a thinge of necessitie to be desired, especially of all suche Gentlemen as are adicted to travaile, which hetherto have wanted the same: beside Marchants, or Factors, in forreyne countries, dispersed as their trafique requireth. But to be briefe, I cease further to reherse perticulerly the commodities thereof. Desiring your [A3] worship to take in good part, the first frutes of my labours, trusting hereafter (if God lend me good successe) to impart unto your worship, some further matter of more delight or pleasure in the reading thereof. And this I desire almightie God to preserve you, with your verteous Lady, in health and prosperous felicitie.

Chapter 22
The Flight Of the Parasol
Holding the handle of the parasol, Dorothy steered it with all the skill of an aviator, and in several minutes after their start the party had entered the deep black
"How long will it take?" she called breathlessly to the Scarecrow, who was dangling just below.
"Hours!" wheezed the Scarecrow, holding fast to his hat. "I hope none of the parties on this line hear us," he added nervously, thinking of the Middlings."
"What recks it!" blustered Sir Hokus, "hast forgotten my trusty sword?" But his words were completely drowned in the rattle of his armor.
"Hush!" warned the Scarecrow, "or we'll be pulled in." So, for almost an hour they flew up the dark chimney-like tube, with only an occasional groan as one or another scraped against the rough sides of the passage. Then—before they knew what was happening—the parasol crashed into something, half ​closed and the whole party started to fall, head over heels, over helmets.
"O!" gasped Dorothy, turning a complete somersault, "catch hold of the bean pole somebody!"
"Put up the parasol!" shrieked the Scarecrow. Just then Dorothy, finding herself right side up, grasped the pole herself and snapped the parasol wide open. Up, up, up they soared again faster than ever!
"We're flying up much faster than I fell down. We must be at the top!" called the Scarecrow hoarsely. "And somebody has closed the opening!"

# The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787/Volume 3/Appendix A/CCCI

​ⅭⅭⅭⅠ. Gouverneur Morris to Henry W. Livingston.
Morrisania, November 25th, 1803.
It is not possible for me to recollect with precision all that passed in the Convention, while we were framing the Constitution; and if I could, it is most probable, that a meaning may have been conceived from incidental expressions, different from that which they were intended to convey, and very different from the fixed opinions of the speaker. This happens daily.
I am very certain that I had it not in contemplation to insert a decree de coercendo imperio in the Constitution of America. Without examining whether a limitation of territory be or be not essential to the preservation of republican government, I am certain that the country between the Mississippi and the Atlantic exceeds by far the limits, which prudence would assign, if in effect any limitation be required. Another reason of equal weight must have prevented me from thinking of such a clause. I knew as well then, as I do now, that all North America must at length be annexed to us. Happy, indeed, if the lust of dominion stop there. It would, therefore, have been perfectly Utopian to oppose a paper restriction to the violence of popular sentiment in a popular government.
