"The ciilimr of tlio npiior piirts of the Imdy must be consid<Tfil as 

 lilack, variegaled with brown si)ots, whirli are not of a uniform shade, 

 but pass from dark into a liglitor colour; they are irregularly scat- 

 tered over the body; nevertheless, they exhiliit a leniloiuy to run 

 from one side toward the otiier, widening towards the hack. The 

 light spot.s are composed of smoky gray, jiassing into blackish brown, 

 exhibiting all thr iiUci-riicdiate shades between these two coloiu-s; 

 they are rather small stripes of the l)readth of from two to four 

 scales, and disappear near the tail altogether, which is entirely black, 

 having oidy four siirill while jioiiils, wliicli arc probably accidental."
