No. 3317; one specimen; Indianola; J. H. Clark, United States and 

 Mexican Boundary Survey. 



In one specimen the colors are much brighter. There is a distinct 

 dark broad band from the snout through the eye, fading out about half- 

 way down the side. A narrow white line along the edge of upper jaw 

 to posterior insertion of arm. The blotches above are much darker; 

 there is a triangular one between the eyes, extending backward, and 

 those on one side are coniiuent into a longitudinal baud with irregular 

 outline. The blotches on the opj)Osite side to this are elongated and 

 rather oblique. The dark stripe from the jaw along the arm is here 

 wanting. Other characters similar. 



No. 3315; one specimen ; between Indianola and San Antonio, Tex.; 

 J. H. Clark. I have also this form from Helotes, Fort Concho, and 

 Dallas, Texas, so that it is generally distributed throughout the State, 

 to the exclusion of the ordinary form.
