 olive, uuspotted. A longitiuliiial dor-sal stripe, and a lateral stripe on 

 the second and third rows of scales, light yellow; first row of scales 

 light brown; integument between the stripes marked with two rows of 

 blackish square spots, which are, however, nearly invisible when the 

 skin is not stretched, but are indicated by short, whitish borders of the 

 scales, which occupy their interspaces. These spots are more distinct 

 in the young, as in other forms. The brown of the sides extends to tlit^ 

 head without forming nuchal spots, and passes from dark to lighter 

 brown on the frontal region, or continues, especially in younger speci- 

 mens, to the end of the muzzle. Superior labials yellowish olive, the 

 middle ones with a trace of a dark i)osterior border above. A pair of 

 parietal spots; gular region light yellow. Dorsal stripe faint on tail.
