The Cover
On the poisonous coral snake, featured on this
month's cover, the red and yellow bands touch
each other, while on the harmless species which
resemble the coral snake red and yellow bands
are separated by black. An easy way to remem-
ber the color combinations-" Red and yellow,
kill a fellow; red and black, venom lack." The
painting is by Charles Beckendorf.JANUARY, 1956
