878 MR. J. LEWIS BONHOTE OX THE [Dec. 4, 



This large series shows hardly any variation throughout ; the 

 April specimens from Bankok and Singora are somewhat greyer 

 in their general tone, and young individuals appear to be browner 

 on the back and to have the tail more distinctly annulated. None 

 of the specimens have the bright yellow back, the majority having 

 only a warm tinge of brown.

 coarse, intermixed with many spines ; colour rufous above, much 

 paler below.
