at one place in our specimens (a good character generally); the first 

 dorsal is much higher (in adults and young); and the second dorsal 

 has black blotches, very prominent, instead of being plain. In N. 

 ramsayi Regan the scales on the interorbital space are shown very 

 small, eight or nine in transverse series from eye to eye, and this 

 character may especially be used to differentiate the two.
