On the plantation Of Mr.. WIN. w. Moore, IN

ed much like The rattle.snake; having at The
end of the tad horny spur resembling IN ap

was cleft and capable OF being opened, from
which pro,rudcd sharp instrument, supposed
TO be a sting.
The serpent above is believed to be iden-
teal with what is sometimes called the HOOP
snake, from the fact that it occasionally as.
sumes the form Of hoop, and propels itself for
ward in that shape. II is 10 be regretted that a
specimen OF this snake could not be taken with
