The color of the lower surface is brown, with a few whitish points on 

 the gular region and tail, and frequently over the whole abdomen. The 

 sides are darker, sometimes almost black. The upper surface is gener- 

 ally a paler brown, with a light shade extending ou each side from the 

 nape to the base of the tail. These bands are composed of numerous 

 short longitudinal streaks, which become separated on the base of the 

 tail, and cover its surface to the end, or to the middle, as the case may 

 be. This light color has generally a reddish hue, and in many speci- 

 mens extend entirely across the dorsal region, forming a band, not un- 

 like that of Plethodon cinereus erythronotus.
