This fillet is marked, between the. fillets on the body, with broader, 
transverse, whitish bands, and between the fillets and the abdomen, with 
waving, interrupted, longitudinal white lines. The ground color be-

a black dot on each side. 
OBSERVATIONS. 
No poison-organs could be found in this variety. 
The C. stolatus is marked poisonous by Linneus, but, as 
Dr. Gray observes, this is an error. Two specimens from 
Ganjam were called— 
Neerogady: scuta 146, subcaudal squaame 77 — 223; and Neergady: 
scuta 147, subcaudal squame 71 — 218.
