The largest spe(!iinen of (his sjx'eies in Ihe Nadonal Museum is the

Most sj)eeimens from Carlisle, Pa., agree in general characters with 

 the one described, although one has the skin more pustular, with the 

 upper parts of an ob.scure (erruginoiis color, obsoletcly varied with oli- 

 vaceous. The head, too, is decidedly longer than broad. Another 

 specimen, 4 inches in (he length of body, with broad head, has tln^ up- 

 per parts olivjiceous green, with (juite small indistinct blotches of pur- 

 plish-brown, not very close to each other. Voting specimens generally 

 are of this color, the blotches reduced to distinct black <lo(s, scattered 

 uniformly over (he back, and the lower parts yellowish anteriorly, with 

 very obsolete indications of the blotches. Tymi)aiium very large. The 

 It. cons2>ersa Le Conte was based on such a specimen.
