Five small specimens from the pools, measuring 24 to 43 milli- 

 meters in length agree almost perfectly with the description of this 

 species, there being however, no white circle in front of the caudal 

 peduncle, and in addition to other light bands on the head, there is 

 a median line extending from tip of snout to occiput. 



The curved bands are all pearly white in life, becoming purple at 

 their narrowest places. The narrow bands are mostly purple, the 

 broad ones mostly white. The body color is a uniform blue black.
