OF 337 species admitted by him, l25 are
snakes, 81 lizards, Al turtles, and croc-

II being rattlesnakes, copperheads, and
water moccasins, and 3 coral snakes
the last are related to the viper Of Eng
land, and are beautifully annulated with
red or scarlet, yellow, and black. Of
the non venomous snakes l03 belong to
forms that are generally familiar, while
two are sluggish and worm-like crea-
lures, which have hence been called
Scolecophidians, or worm-snakes.
OF the 81 lizards, 76 are typical forms,

snake rather than an ordinary lizard,
and is without feet; it is the glasssnake
of the Southern States, and obtains its
name on account Of its frsgility and the

OF the tortoises, 80 are terrestrial OF
