Excerpt from Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society, Vol. 16: A Popular Treatise on the Common Indian Snakes I shall not attempt to treat the subject exhaustively, as it seems to me a more useful purpose will be served by dealing with the commonest and most widely distributed species. Where a resemblance exists between two or more species, especially where one is poisonous and the others harmless, they will be shown together and an attempt will be made to frame easy rules whereby they may be distinguished, but here I must repeat what I have said in previous papers in this Journal, viz., that of all fallacious methods of identifying snakes, the usual one adopted with relation to colour and markings is the most unreliable. Attention must be given to the arrangement of the scales and shields. We mast again appeal to our readers to render every assistance by procuring living specimens without which the true colouring cannot be shown by our artists. The plates will show only a few inches in the middle of the body, in preference to a full-length drawing which would necessarily be on too small a scale in many cases to show the detail required for identification. Our first plate represents the common green pit viper (Lachesis gramineus), and the common green whip snake (Dryophis mycterizans). Before describing our first snake I think it advisable to make a few remarks on vipers in general so as to indicate their position in the snake world, and the relationship of this to other vipers. The word viper is derived from the Latin vivus alive and pario I bring forth, in reference to a method of birth unusual among ophidians, but not peculiar to this family.f Among our Indian representatives the true fresh water snakes (Homalopsid ) and the sea snakes (Hydrophiid ) also produce young. It is probably this viviparous habit which has led to the belief still hard to dispel from credulous minds, that vipers protect their young by swallowing them. A pregnant mother approaching parturition is killed, and living young found within her, or observed to escape from her: the erroneous conclusion is drawn that these must have been swallowed, especially as it is popularly understood that snakes produce eggs.

The eggs are of three distinct types. In one the ground-colour is pure white, and in another a pale bluish or greenish. In both these types the markings consist of strongly defined Spots and Specks of brownish-red, which in nine cases out of ten form a ring or cap towards the larger end and are Sparsely scatter ed elsewhere 3 but in a few eggs the markings are very dense every24 journal, bombay natural history society, Vol. IX.

Excerpt from Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society, 1921, Vol. 28: Index and Title Page; Parts 1 and 2 I think that there is no doubt that the data in which Mr. Bell relies are far and away the most satisfactory for purposes of classification and that study of the habits as well as what may be termed cabinet investigation are little more than confirmatory yet, as Mr. Bell points out, there are many species and even genera whose early stages are entirely unknown and all we have to go on for the present are the habits and the results of examination of the image. I had already worked out a rough classification of the family and find that my results accord very closely with Mr. Bell's. I give below the points on which we differ.
