 Kept., p. 71, fig. 23. 



[ Colours in life : five dark cross-bands with fawn-coloured bands 

 between : similar narrower bands on legs and tail : ventral surface white, 

 chin and throat dotted with blaok. One caught at Kacha (elev. 3300 

 ft.) was rich reddish sand-colour, with four dark cross-bands and nu- 

 merous round raised yellow spots on the back ; tail with light and dark 

 bands above, yellowish white below ; belly white, throat finely speckled 

 with brown ; head sandy-brown with fine yellow dots. Iris greyish 

 brown. It was noticed in this — and subsequently in several other 

 species — that there was no consensual reaction of the pupils to light : 

 each pupil contracted to light and dilated in shade independently of the 

 other. This species often bit fiercely at one's finger.]
