"This species, which goes under the colonial name in Victoria
of Tiger snake, from its tawny cross banded colouring and
ferocity, is well known to frequently inflict bites rapidly
fatal to men and dogs. . . . In Tasmania this is popularly
called `Carpet snake,' a name which properly belongs to the
harmless snake so called on the mainland."

Name given to various species of the genus <i>Typhlops</i>,
comprising small, non-venomous, smooth, round-bodied snakes,
which burrow in warm sandy soil, and feed upon insects such as
ants. The eyes are covered over by translucent plates, and the

allies in other countries, they are popularly supposed to be
very poisonous."
