with black. A second frontlet across the front of the postfrontals, 

 narrower but similar, and bending down on each side to the auteorbital. 

 A similarly (;olored blotch on the commissure of the occipitals, widen- 

 ing behind and constituting a center to the dark-red space inclosed by 

 the large frontlet on the back of the neck; behind the one just men- 

 tioned is another rather larger, and the two are sometimes confluent. 

 A dark-red stripe is included between the two frontlets just described, 

 crossing the posterior part of the postfrontals, the upper end of the 

 anterior frontals, and through the eye, across the angle of the mouth 

 down the sides of the neck. Vertical edges of the upper and lower 

 labials black. 



Specimens from Kemper County, Mississippi, much larger in size, 

 agree exactly in the pattern of coloration. The red is, however, more 

 or less effaced, probably by the alcohol. The blotches are light hazel, 

 and the interspaces light chocolate. 



Smaller specimens from Georgia differ only in having the blotches 

 dark hazel, lighter centrally. The intervals are ash gray.
