the carina. The spinules on the scales of the head are finer and 
fewer than in maculatus. The dorsoterminal plate resembles that 
of maculatus, not being greatly strengthened and modified as it is in 
notatus, sexradiatus, and triocellatus; it barely projects beyond the 
marginal line of the following scales. Both the dorsoterminal and 
the ventroterminal plates are armed by a median and a submarginal 
series of stout, erect, conic spinules in the type, while in certain para- 
types either the median or lateral series (or both) of the upper plate 
may be irregularly doubled. In the young the spinules of the ter- 
minal plates, as those of the other scales, are stronger relatively and 
fewer in number, but the same arrangement holds true as in the

adult. The number of scales on the ethmoid region of the infra- 
orbital ridge averages fewer than in maculatus; they bear spinules 
arranged in irregular radiating series. The scales of the median 
superior rostral series are fewer than in maculatus, there being 8 
to 10, instead of constantly 10; these scales are also armed with more 
numerous carinae (as many as 10)—the carinae of the last scale, 
which is not reduced in size, are subparallel, but those on the other 
scales are arranged in series which radiate or diverge strongly—on 
the posterior scales, from the middle of the front margin of each 
scale; on the anterior scales, from a point near the front margin of 
each scale. The supraorbital series is composed of scales which are 
largest in front, and are wider and weaker than in (. maculatus, 
all bearing several series of spinules which radiate from near the 
front margin of the first scales, but from the anteroventral angle 
of the posterior scales. The scales along the postorbital ridge bear 
spinules in one to several series, usually in but one. 
The occipital ridges, which are nearly parallel anteriorly, but 
diverge posteriorly, bear scales rather sturdily armed; the anterior
