Notes on Paratypes : The variations in structure in the 

 series of 22 specimens selected as paratypes have been ade- 

 quately given in the diagnosis. The coloration is rather con- 

 stant, most of the specimens having a color pattern similar to 

 that of the type. A few specimens have a single dark inter- 

 ocular band, and two have two dark bands separated by a 

 lighter one. A number of specimens have a pale spot between 

 the shoulders, and three have a wide yellow vertebral stripe. 



Remarks : Besides the specimens described above there are 

 in the Santa Marta collections a considerable number of speci- 

 mens which differ from the type and paratypes, but which the 

 writer has been compelled to refer to this species. The varia- 

 tions are in color and in the prominence of the dorsal tubercles 

 and glandular folds. In some specimens the tubercles are 

 mostly small, and the glandular ridges are absent or only pres- 

 ent over the ear. In a few the glandular ridges are limited to 

 a very open chevron behind the eyes. In others there are two 

 irregular linear glandular ridges on either side of the vertebral 

 region, and in one specimen there are two straight linear 

 ridges on either side of the back from the orbits. ^lany speci- 

 mens are colored like the type, but some are pale (red or green 

 in life) except for a dark patch on the head and shoulders, the 

 patch varying from a uniform to a yellow with dark reddish 

 brown markings. There are specimens apparently inter- 

 mediate between those described above and the types, but it 

 is possible that another species is represented, so that the.
