Watson quotes Holmes as saying: "It is a swamp adder! the deadliest snake in India." However, There is no such thing as a 'swamp adder' and there are no adders of any kind in India. In addition, snakes cannot hear sounds they only feel vibrations with very sensitive organs.It has been speculated that what Holmes actually said was: "it is a samp-aderm, the deadliest skink in India." A skink is actually a lizard that might be able to climb and descend a rope and hear a whistle.
