2 ARKIV FÖR ZOOLOGI. BAND 9. N:0 3. 



The whole upper surface is provided with densely scat- 

 tered small tubercles, each usually ending in a rounded horny 

 knob. On the back and on the upper parts of the sides the 

 tubercles are to some extent arranged in longitudinal series, 

 forming narrow folds which sometimes are rather regular and 

 angularly bent, or, usually, short, straight or oblique, and then 

 numerous. Under surfaces smooth, indistinctly granular on 

 the thighs. A large nearly circular disc-shaped inguinal 

 gland. The colour above varying from light grey to dark 

 brown, sometimes indistinctly spotted with dark and white; 

 on the middle of the back a light irregular spöt in most of 

 the specimens. Between the eyes a white crossband, darkedged 

 behind, sometimes beginning at the edges of the upper eye- 

 lids; inguinal gland dark and white. In the lightest specimen 

 this colourpattern is rather indistinct, the specimen being 

 more uniform; in the dark specimens there are some white spöts 

 in front of the gland as well, Thighs anteriorly and posteri- 

 orly spotted with white. Limbs faintly crossbanded; in the 

 dark specimens the outer sides of the feet have some irre- 

 gular light blotches. Broad dark band with narrow light 

 interspaces radiate from the eye to the shoulder and to the 

 oral börder. Under surfaces yellowish dirty white, dotted 

 with brown, or yellowish brown, more or less dark, marbled 

 with lighter. Under parts of limbs yellowish white, more or 

 less dotted with dark. Measurements of the largest and of
