"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.'
