REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1898. 



stripes of the same tint on each side. The external three of these are 

 homologous with those of the G. tessellatus perplexus and the C. sex- 

 lineatus, and the additional five are median and equidistant from the 

 other stripes and from each other. There are no spots on any part of 

 the body, head, tail, or limbs. 



This si^ecies diifers from the young specimens of the ('. tessellatus of 

 equal size, in the small number of its ff.moral pores, and in the absence 

 of spots on the hind limbs and sides, as well as in the additional pair 

 of median longitudinal stripes. The single known specimen is appar- 

 ently adult, and is about equal in size to a half-grown C. iesselatiis, and 

 smaller than the C. variolosus.
