. The American natural history; a foundation of useful knowledge of the higher animals of North America. Natural history. HOG-NOSED SNAKE 93 England states as far up as Connecticut, and also in the southeastern states and the Mississippi Valley is found a sub- species called Natrix fasciata sipedon. The Hog-Nosed Snake^ is a serpent of many names and remarkable habits. It is often called the Blowing "Viper, " Spreading "Adder, " and other combinations of "Viper" and "Adder, " all erroneous. This is the snake that is such a bold bluffer, and often saves its life by pretending to be very fierce and dangerous. Instead of fleeing from an intruder, this crea- ture comes straight forward, with savage determination, hissing and darting out its tongue, and pretend- ing to be a serious proposition. It looks as ugly and deadly as any real viper. It inflates the skin of its neck with air, and hisses until it can be heard 25 feet. In spite of all this blufling, however, the Hog-Nosed Snake is really a harmless creature. It strikes viciously, but always with its mouth closed! Mr. Ditmars says it is almost im- possible to induce one of these snakes to bite. When greatly annoyed, or tickled on the back, it will turn over on its back, open its mouth, allow its tongue to hang out, and permit the experimenter to hang it over a stick, as if dead.
