 bv an army brown stripe interrupted by five hour-glass-shaped 

 bone brown spots ; head bone brown except for some greenish 

 white markings on the upper lip ; tail alternately banded with 

 bone black and army brown ; ventral surfaces white, the sides 

 of the belly encroached upon by the color of the sides, the sub-

Abates on Paratypcs: Two paratypes, both females, agree 

 with the type in structural characters, except that the head is 

 a little smaller, the length of the tibia is as long as the head 

 to the middle of the orbit, and the supraorbital semicircles are 

 broadly in contact. One of these specimens has the same total 

 length as the type, 139 mm., but the head measures 13 mm.; 

 the other is smaller, the total length being 124 mm., of which 

 the head occupies 12 mm. The smaller of the specimens was 

 uniform green when captured but this Cjuickly changed to that 

 of the type. In the other the head is natal brown with some 

 poorly defined white spots below the orbit, the sides are wood 

 brown without spots, and there are two bone brown dorsal 

 stripes on either side of a vertebral stripe. Rood's brown in 

 color, which extends from the occiput well toward the end of 

 the tail.
