The general ground colour of the dorsal side is a dark reddish- 

 brown, though the markings upon it cover the greater part of the 

 surface. Three longitudinal black stripes run from the ' neck ' to 

 the posterior extremity, a median broad band and a pair of 

 less broad laterals at the edge of the body ; all unite at the ' neck ' 

 in a narrow black transverse band. The head is shghtly paler 

 than the brown of the trunk, with a crescentic black band, which 

 normally is probabW continuous across the head, though in 

 the specimen examined it is interrupted on the left side. The eyes 

 are arranged along the extreme edge of the head lobe. 



Ventrally, the animal is a dull drab brown, with a darker 

 shade at the outer edge and also next to the ambulacral surface ; 

 this latter is very pale with a darker central stripe. The under 

 side of the head is paler than the other parts and has a dark 

 crescentic band corresponding to the black mark above.

Above and below the creature is of a greyish colour with 

 touches of brown in parts ; dorsally there is a single median black 

 line passing from one extremity to the other and tapering suddenly 

 at the head, which is somewhat lighter in colour. Round the 

 anterior extremity of the ventral surface of the head is a slightly 

 raised and tairly thick "lip," forming a type of sucker charac- 

 teristic of the genus. The ambulacral surface is very narrow, 

 appearing only as a pale line along the ventral side.
