It is probable that this snake is common offshore, but is but rarely washed ashore. Brown Racer (1198) One specimen brought in by Gealey. Oxybelis One specimen taken from a wire fence near a farmhouse. Although this snake was said to be common in the Mimosa scrub near the lake shore by the natives, no other specimens were seen. Boa 2 brought in by natives. Mabuya 2 specimens seen by Gealey, + 3 by me, of which I collected one.
