in the adventure of the speckled band story what is the speckled band?
"It is a swamp adder!" cried Holmes - "the deadliest snake in India." Watson recorded this sentence many years after the actual events for we learn of the secrecy kept until the untimely death of Holmes' client. First of all, there is no such thing as a swamp adder, and India has no adders. Second, have you ever seen a snake slither up a rope or down one for that matter? Another fact of note, snakes are deaf, so the whistle would have been useless, and there is also the problem of getting through the ventilator cover. There has been much speculation about what this "swamp adder" may have been, but one possibility is a hybrid reptile combining a lizard and a snake. What Holmes may have actually said was: "It is a samp-aderm, the deadliest skink in India." This theory was first put forward by Laurence M. Klauber in a 1948 issue of 'The Baker Street Journal' in an article titled 'The Truth about the Speckled Band.'
How did Red Herring get that name and how does Red Herring in like a mystery book and Red Herring fish differ plus how are they related?
The red herring fish and the ones you hear about in mystery books are actually one in the same. A red herring (mystery) got it's name because in older times, when a crime was committed, police used dogs to follow a scent, and the criminal would drag a red herring to throw off the dog's sense of smell and lead the police in the wrong direction. A red herring in a mystery is designed to throw the reader off the real answer.
