A S the fubjeft of Poifons is one of the moil intereiling branches of natural hiftory, I am induced to add to the preceding pages a few fafts which came under my own obfervation while I reiided in Africa and the Eail Indies, where it is well known that both the animal and vegetable kingdoms abound with a variety of productions unfriendly to the human frame. The vegetable poifons of Africa have been already noticed; but I have been lefs copious in the remarks on the poifonous fnakes of that country. To thefe, therefore, I fhall iirft and principally call the attention of the reader; and being but little converfant in zoology, I fhall, in my defcription, retain the names by which they are diilinguiihed in their native regions. The Horned Snake, is the moil poifonous of thefe reptiles: it is of a greyiih colour, and about eighteen inches long : its head, which is very flat, is large in proportion to the fize 6f the body, with fmall fcales, which the inhabitants call horns, rifing over its eyes. c «
