NATURAL SCIENCES OP PHILADELPHIA. 107 



the smallest specimen the terminal -TS above and '33 below are keeled ; in 

 others the superior keel is more distal. 



Upper lip moderately truncate, with infra-nareal angles, and in one, rudi- 

 mental cirri. The muzzle is rather thick and short, the head flat ; in one 

 smaller specimen the former is a little longer than in the others, and the 

 width of the head relatively less. The vomerine teeth form short series, each 

 rather suddenly bent backwards ; the pterygoids two narrow patches, not 

 approaching the vomerines, the relations in this respect being as in S. b i 1 i- 

 n e a t u s. 



The color in four specimens is an unspotted brown, the inferior surfaces 

 paler, especially the gular region. In the smaller specimen above mentioned, 

 which seems to constitute a variety, the brown color forms a broad dorsal 

 band, with dark points ; the sides are of a pinkish gray, and the under sur- 

 faces light yellow.

The form of this species would indicate it to be terrestrial in its habits. 

 Of its geographical range we have as yet little information.
