Variation.—There are seven cotypes in the collection, all taken 
in the same immediate locality. These vary more or less in 
markings, but the coloration is identical. No. 349 (22.5 milli- 
meters long) strongly resembles the type in markings; the 
pitlike depressions in the skin of the lower jaw are not evident; 
the tubercles on the back are dimmer. No. 350 (20 millimeters 
long) is very sparsely pigmented on the back. It was almost 
white when taken; the skin on the chin and the throat is 
slightly granulate; the pigment on the back is arranged in 
two very dim curving lines beginning behind eye; this marking 
is suggeSted inthetype. No. 353 (19 millimeters long) is similar 
to No. 350; the sides are lighter, and the slightly curved mark- 
ings on the back are present. The pigment is heavier between 
the shoulders and as far forward as the line between the eyes. 
The snout and the area below the eye are distinctly lighter; 
the skin of the throat and the chin is smooth. No. 348 (17 
millimeters long) has brown spots about the dorsal tubercles 
and a deep brown line behind eye to insertion of arm; the snout 
is very light. Nos. 352 and 354 (each 15 millimeters long) 
have a hair line from between the eyes to above the anus. No.
