Color in spirits, light br(»wnish-yellow or straw-color, above find be- 

 low. The entire upper surface and sidt's are, however, so tiiickly covered 

 with large reddish-luown spots as to rediuie the ground color to a mt 

 work, forming a j>attern of numerous irregular or creiiate circles. These 

 are in three rows between tiie dorsolateral iidg*'s, wiiicli are of the light 

 groundcolor for most of their length. There are no light bunds or 

 lines about the head, but the lores ami upper lips are closely and rather 

 coarsely marbled with I'.rown and yellow. The lower lip is less distinctly 

 marked in the same way. At the orbits tlicic are ihree rows of Inrgo 

 siiots like those of the back, the exterior ones on I hi' eyelids. The foro 

 legs are marbleil like the lores, with a faint suspicion of cross-lvars. 

 The thigh, tibia, tarsus, and external toe are cruss banded with nucIi 

 wide brown bars, thiil the intersi)a(!es are very narrow an;] often inter- 

 rn|)led. There arc tliric wide and two narrow bars on the thigh, and 

 no longitudinal markings; tluri' are six liars across the tiliia of dilfer- 

 ent widths, and three across the tarsus; inferior surfaces unspotted. 

 The lateral spots become more sparse and more widely s|)aced near to 

 the abdomen; thigh posteriorly with large brown si»ots, on a straw- 

 colored ground.
