{C. helenfc Keiinicott), and bj' some otliers a distinct genus. There is, 

 however, no other cliaracter by which to separate it from the C. (tmroiHs, 

 and the character itself is not constant. Thus, in jar Cat. liio. 8840, from 

 Union County, Tennessee, one specimen has both internasals, a second 



has but one, and a third is without. 

 In jar Cat. No. 12046, from Mount 

 Carmel, Illinois, nearly all the spec- 

 imens lack the internasals, but one 

 of them has the plate on one side. 



Some other variations .occur. 

 Thus, in a sj^ecimen from Jackson, 

 North Carolina (Cat. Xo. 1921), the 

 anterior angle of the frontal plate 

 is produced forward to the interna- 

 sals, completely separating the pre- 

 frontals. In Cat. JSTo. 10721, from 

 Washington, District of Columbia, 

 there is but one, a large scute, in the 

 second row of temporals; and two 

 rows of scales are of the color of the 

 abdomen, which contrasts strongly 

 with thatof the dorsal regions. The 

 specimen is quite intermediate between this species and the C. vermis. 

 In some specimens the superciliary is larger than the postocular; in 

 others the reverse is the case.
