This species is closely affined to B. tigrina. It differs, however, in 

 having a more obtuse snout and a conspicuously broader occijout. The 

 supratyrapanitic ridge curves down much more sharj)ly over the 

 tympanum behind, than the same ridge in B. tigrina. The museum 

 specimens are in a poor state, and those of the last species especially 

 have been rammed so ruthlessly into their bottles that no force can 

 dislodge them for close comparison.

This species attains to nearly the size of B. tigrina, but the colour 

 is very uniform ; where there are markings they are blurred and in- 

 distinct, quite different from the distinct maculation of i^. tigrina. Rusty 

 brown is the prevailing hue, with or without a pale median stripe.
