The color of the lower surface is brown, with a few whitish points on 

 the },Milar reyion and tail, and fre(|uently over the whole abdomen. The 

 sides are darker, sometimes almost black. The upper surface is <,'ener. 

 ally a paler brown, with a lij^ht shade extending on each side from the 

 nape to the base of the tail. These bauds arc composed of numerous 

 short longitudinal streaks, which become separated on the base of the 

 tail, and cover its surface to the end, or to the middle, as the ease nii»y 

 be. This light color has generally a reddish hue, and in many speci- 

 mens exteml entirely across the dorsal region, forming'a band, not un- 

 like that of riethodon cincreus <ri/llir<mi>ti(s.

 M. Gabb, and one in tlie iMnseum of the Essex Institute from the sauio 

 locality, obtained by Mr. Samuels, and the following:
