Abstract
IN a small treatise on Indian snakes by Dr. Nicholson, R. A., the author states his belief that cobras will not feed in captivity unless forced to, starving themselves voluntarily to death. He thinks, also, that jugglers in this country either “feed their cobras with liquid nourishment, or else let them loose when their lives are in danger,” recapturing them at a future time.
