" Among the numerous specimens collected by Mr. Masters of 

 this species, a striking variety occurs. It is of a beautiful bright 

 yellow color, with indications of a single reddish spiral line" (Cox).

" The coalescent porcellaneous bands on a darker ground, consti- 

 tute the most prominent feature of this pretty species, whose nearest 

 ally is B. trilineatus of Western Australia" (Cox). 



The specimens before me (pi. 2, fig. 41) differ from Dr. Cox's

 granose below the sutures, elsewhere wrinkled. The color is tawny,
