•The scales of the row nearest the granular area vary somewhat in size in different 

 specimens. When counting the dorsal series, the lowest (on each aide) should not be 

 included if its scales arc less than half the size of those immediately above them. When 

 its scales are half the size of those above, I have called the lowest row >^ series; when 

 more than half the size of those above, a whole series.
