Repfites of the Mississippi Valley. Mr. Flint, in the Western Monthly

Review lor February, describes the

various species of reptites that infest the Western and South Western

States. Among the venomous ser

pents are the rattle snake, king snake,

water asp, copper head, moeeassin

snake, hissing snake, and horn snake.

bite than the rattle snake The his sing snake hisses like a goose "We confined one, ' says Mr F. with a stick across his back, and it instantly bit itself, and soon became swollen & died." The born snake has a thorn in its tail resembling that of a dunghill cock. Wherever the population becomes dense, the swine prey upon those tcr rible reptiles and they quickly disappear. Their t esrls are near the bases ff rocky hills, and near vat swamps. People are often bitten by them, and
