have a similar coloration the dark median band is much paler 

 and thus less in contrast to the color of the flanks and is in- 

 terrupted by more or less distinct small brown spots or chevrons, 

 while two females have a broad orange yellow vertebral band 

 limited on each side by a well defined, straight edged, dark 

 brown band. The skin of the gular region in the females is 

 generally a delicate pink in life. 



Remarks: Thirty-three specimens of this species have been 

 examined as follows : thirteen secured by the Bryant Walker 

 Expediton (1913) at Fundacion and from above Mamatoco at 

 the base of the mountains near Santa r^Iarta to an elevation of 

 about 2,700 feet, two collected at Pueblo Vie jo (8,000 ft.) by 

 M. A. Carriker, March 20, 1914, and eighteen taken at Pueblo 

 \'iejo by W. W. Brown during the last two weeks in March 

 and the first week in April, 1898. The Pueblo Viejo specimens 

 collected by Brown are in the Museum of Comparative Zoology 

 with the exception of one specimen which has been retained 

 for the University of ^lichigan collection, through the kind- 

 ness of Dr. Thomas Barbour. Of the series obtained by the 

 Bryant Walker Expedition one specimen has been presented to 

 the British Museum and twelve are in the University of Mich- 

 igan, as are the two specimens taken at Pueblo Viejo by 

 Carriker. 



The Pueblo \'iejo collections contain a number of males and 

 show^ that individuals of this sex usually have the pale 

 dorsal Imnd possessed by one of the paratypes, and that the 

 females probably rarely have the broad immaculate orange yel- 

 low stripe, since only two specimens in the entire series have 

 this type of coloration.
