The pale-banded form is the commoner type in tLe East, and 

 tlie orange-banded form in the West. It is probable that they 

 represent two races, the ranges of which overlap : in such cases 

 it seems to me imperative that both forms should have names. 

 As we have not received C. jiavifasciatus (in any instance) with 

 the typical form, it is possible that they do not actually occur 

 together.
