.Seven specimens from Bacon (no. 3840, 39(53 to 39()5, and 4147 to 4149; length 2 to 6.25 in.). These 

 form a perfect series in size and intergradation of color from the figure and descriptions given by Bleeker and 

 Day to the young as described by Jordan and Scale. There can be no doubt that Guntheria carulemnttata, 

 Platyglossuf: saipiilai'is. and H. njiiintof/raininus are one and the same species, the difference in color markings 

 being due to age.
