Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal Part II.—Physical Science 1878

1878

From D. dussumieri D. major is known by having much larger supra-labials each plate near the middle of the lip on each side exceeding the nasal in length by the enlarged scales at the sides being single and not aggregated into groups by the much larger scales on the gular sae and by the colouration of the wings. [...] There are 30 pale rings on the body the first pale ring imperfect above and the dark patch in front not continuous across the throat the rest of the rings encircle the animal. [...] On the belly throughout the anterior part of the body the dark rings are only about half as broad as the white above the difference is lens and near the head the dark rings are much broader above than the white. [...] On the 2nd of last March the most severe shock which has occurred within the memory of the present generation so far as I can learn affected the whole of the northern part of the province. [...] The Barracks escaped owing to their having been built with iron couplings in the walls and in the city from the use of wooden tie-beams in the masonry because of the damage often done here by slighter earthquakes the injury done Wag' less than in the Station.
