Snake Killed bx a Mouse.

\ remarkable instance of a snake
having been killed by a mouse is re
corded by sir. F. f. Francis Of Vim
hledon He states that an ordinary
grass snake which he had in confine-
ment was given mouse for food.
The snake made several attempts TO
catch the mouse, but in every case
missed. The next day the snake was
found TO he dead. and there was evil
dence that il had been attacked and
killed by the mouse. which was alive,
and had eaten part of the makes
body. The skill of the mongaose in
tackling the cobra is well known. but
we fancy that a case OF this kind.
which could. of course, only occur
with captive ophidian, must be rare
