moderately glossy. The ground-colour is somewhat variable, being 

 generally of some shade of green, tinged with olive or brown, but 

 sometimes pale buff or stone-colour. The surface-markings, which 

 consist of specks, spots, streaks, and blotches, also vary in extent 

 and in shade of colour. Frequently they are densely distributed 

 over the whole shell, but oftener, perhaps, they are most numerous 

 at the broad end, where they form a cap or zone. They vary in 

 colour from olive-brown to reddish brown. The underlying 

 markings are dull purple or lavender-grey, and are of the same 

 character as the surface-markings. 



Specimens measure from 1-08 to 1*29 in length, and from '89 to 

 96 in breadth.
