Variation.—The chief variations noted in a series of about 
twenty specimens from Bunawan, Agusan, are as follows: The 
larger percentage of the specimens has the skin on the anterior 
- part of the body smooth; in younger specimens the “nose” is not 
so distinctly evident; older specimens usually have a minute, 
but distinct, dermal fold on underside of head, outlining the man- 
dible. The color varies markedly; half-grown and young speci- 
mens are usually uniform lavender above, and whitish below. 
Older specimens vary from purplish brown to gray, with indis- 
tinct spots and mottlings; the light lateral stripes are only rarely 
present; in certain specimens the hind legs are distinctly barred. 
Remarks.—This species was especially common at Bunawan. 
The specimens’ for the most part were collected from the axils 
of the large caladiums that are found in profusion in the cut- 
Over forests and along the rivers. Their eggs are deposited 
in the water that collects in the axils of caladiums and wild 
plantains, 
The type locality is “Philippines,” with no definite locality 
given. Known from Dinagat, Mindanao, and the Calamian 
Islands, in the Philippines. Reported also from Borneo.
