posteriorly; tbey also pass up the sides, becoming less and less distinct. 

 Tbe n|)p(.r parts appear entirely sinootii, except an occasional and iso- 

 lated pnstule on the side of the back. 



The general color above is of a light chestnut, with blotches of dark 

 chestnnt; beneath, reddish-white. A dark chestnut line extends from 

 the siiout through the nostril to the anterior canthus, and re-appears be- 

 hind the eye in an oval patch, involving the whole tympanum, and ex- 

 tending above tiie shoulder. A second similar patcli appears on the 

 side, separated from the lirst by about the thickness of the arm. IJe- 

 hind this again, and a little more on the back, is a smaller blotch, be- 

 hitul which is one still smaller, and the region of the anus is tinged 

 with the same color; there thus apitears to be a chain of these blotches, 

 extending, at about ecpial distances, from the anus to the eye, the two 

 last-mentioned lateral ones fully visible from above. There are indis- 

 tinct indications of darker blotches on the back, an<l sulVusious of the 

 same round the scattered ]»ustules referred to. The extreme edge of the 

 upper Jaw is dark, but between this and the upper stripe, involving 

 nearly the whole side of the face below the eye, is an area of light eldest- 

 nut, becoming clearer and brighter under the eye. A chestnut stripe 

 extends from the lower Jaw up the arm, which has, besides, two or three 

 transverse blotches; the femur, tibia and tarsus have each two or three 

 transverse fascia-. The anterior face of the thighs is light tliestnut; 

 the buttocks the same, with indistiiuit blotches of lighter, in some 

 specimens the ground color is greenish lead color.

From the C. ornatux Ww, C. mridcntalis dillVrs In rojoi' I'litiicly; the 

 head is more acute, and the cleft of moiitii deeper; the legs arc longrr 

 ami the granulation liiu-r. 



This species is (piite distim;t from the C. onuttns, and does not appear 

 to have been named by any Euroi>eaii aiitJKM- prior to lioiilnigcr. .My 

 identilication of it with the lliila nmlaiis of D.tiiiiin was biiscd on a 

 plate representing it, or a spei-ics very similar to il, in (»iie of the older 

 authors, but lor which I have lost the reference. As jiointed out by 

 lioulenger, it is clearly not the species so called by Daiulin.
