SNAKES OF sARAwAK.
The Pythons Arc Enormous and Feed
on Pigs and Children.

The Pythons Are Enormous and Feed
on Pigs and Children.
In the Sarawak Gazette is an article
on the snakes of that part Of Borneo.
OF the poisonous reptiles it says: 1.-THE
cobra (Naja tripudians) is black
snake which raises its head to strike
when irritated, at the same time ex-
panding the hood at either side of the
neck. 1t spits at intruders and Kisses
like cat, whence it is known as
"ular tedong puss;" in some parts, too,
MS 'tedong mata hari." The word ..te-
dong" in Sarawak is apparently ap-
piled to all large snakes which Malays
consider to be poisonous, and, as our
Malays are but i'll acquainted with
these animals, quite number Of large
but harmless forms are designated by
this term. The hamadryad (Naja bun
garus) is brown snake, considerably
bigger but rarer than the cobra. 1t is
rather shy, but when cornered, like
the cobra, it raises Its head and ex-
pands the hood before striking. Its
food is chiefly other snakes.
LESS dangerous than these najas
are the vipers, of which the most
common species is the green viper
which reaches length of two feet or
more. The head is large and shaped
like an ace of spades. This creature is
tree snake and very sluggish. The
'bungarus' are of several species, one,
Bungarus fasciatus, Of length up to
four feet, being black with yellow
rings. 1t is called the 'ular buku tebu'
sugar cane joints by natives. There
are also sea snakes of many species.
The tail Of a sea snake is fattened
and oarlike."
Sarawak has other snakes: "Of the
pythons there are two species. Py-
thon reticulatus grows to an enor-
nous size, over twenty feet. 1t is
very fond Of pigs, but varies its diet
by various animals, including even
children. The oil of this snake is used
by Malays as an embrocation for
bruises. The other species of python,
Python curtus, is interesting in that
its flesh tastes like that of fowl-at
least, SO Dyaks say, and they are au-
thorities on snake flesh, for they eat
number of the large snakes"

The Flying Lizard of Java,

The curious little animals known as
flying lizards Draco volans) are only
found In Java. and their strange ap-
pearance is supposed to have been the
origin Of the dragon of the medieval
eastern imagination. The reptile is like
an ordinary lizard, but is provided with
folds of extensible skin which are
spread out by the long ribs and enable
the animal to glide through the air from
tree to tree in pursuit of the insects on
which 1t preys. When lying prone on
the mottled surface Of bough, 1t Is
an excellent example of protective re-
semblance," as it is most difficult to be
seen unless it moves.
