The blowingviper or putting adder of
the United States, although it is tlmid and
unaggressive, and can rarely be provoked
to bite, and then does no particular harm
has been reputed dangerous and veno
nous reptile because 1t has long, fang like
posterlor teeth, 1t belongs to the genus
hetorodon, which Is so called on account
of this unusual and irregular dentitGon.
1t is of the same group as the Nenodons,
or strange-tooth, of tropical America,
which is also supposed there to be poison
Gus, possibly for no better reason than our
North America genera are. DR.. Stradling
allowed one to bite him, and suffered no
i'll effects from the wound. Mrs. Catharne
T.. Hopley states, in Lana and Water, that
she has lately examined one of these
strange toothed snakes for the purpose of
seeing the fangs, when she observed that
they are mobile, or what are called in the
viperne snakes, hinged teeth-that is, they
are so set that the snake can erect or de-
press them at pleasure by volllonal
movement of the jaw. 1t is known, she
says, that no pOlson.gland exists in this
snake, land 1t was only on venturlng to
feel the teeth, In order to judge OF their
relative sizes, that the reptile let me know
it had a larger pair safely tucked away IN
case took too many libertles.'
