Specimen, C. M. No. 946, was collected by Haseman at Sao Joao 

 del Rey, Minas Geraes, Brazil. C. M. No. 956 was collected at 

 Puerto Suarez, Bolivia, by Jose Steinbach. 



Some characters of C. M. No. 946 are worth noting. A narrow dark 

 brown stripe passes through each eye from the snout to the shoulder. 

 On each side of the back are narrow brown cross-bars, bordered pos- 

 teriorly with white. On the tail the bars cross the back and are 

 broader. The scales of the dorsal surface of the tail are smaller than 

 those of the abdomen. Neither of the anterior chinshields is as large 

 as the mental. The posterior chin-shields are all smaller than the 

 anterior, the central one being divided into two, one in front of the other. 



The dark lateral stripe of No. 956 passes along the side of the back 

 to the sacrum. On the back between the lateral stripes are two rows 

 of elongated dark spots, resembling interrupted stripes. On the top 

 of the head and back of the tail are a few dark spots.
