  spotless 
  or 
  with 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  blackish 
  spots, 
  which 
  very 
  

   seldom 
  unite 
  to 
  form 
  a 
  labial 
  streak. 
  The 
  cross-bands 
  

   on 
  the 
  legs 
  may 
  be 
  very 
  irregular 
  or 
  absent. 
  The 
  

   hinder 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  thighs, 
  i. 
  e. 
  that 
  part 
  which 
  is 
  con- 
  

   cealed 
  by 
  the 
  Ws 
  when 
  the 
  animal 
  is 
  at 
  rest, 
  is 
  

   whitish 
  or 
  pale 
  greenish 
  marbled 
  with 
  dark 
  olive 
  or 
  

   bronzy, 
  or 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  colour 
  with 
  or 
  without 
  small 
  

   light 
  spots 
  ; 
  never 
  is 
  any 
  trace 
  of 
  yellow 
  to 
  be 
  detected 
  

   on 
  that 
  region 
  nor 
  at 
  the 
  axil 
  and 
  groin. 
  The 
  lower 
  

   surfaces 
  are 
  white, 
  with 
  greyish 
  spots 
  or 
  marblings 
  in 
  

   specimens 
  kept 
  dry. 
  After 
  long 
  sojourn 
  in 
  water 
  these 
  

   parts 
  are 
  abundantly 
  spotted 
  or 
  largely 
  marbled 
  with 
  

   black. 
  The 
  abundance 
  and 
  intensity 
  of 
  these 
  spots 
  is 
  

   irrespective 
  of 
  sex 
  — 
  a 
  remark 
  which, 
  contrary 
  to 
  the 
  

   statement 
  of 
  many 
  authors, 
  applies 
  also 
  to 
  the 
  typical 
  

   form- 
  The 
  iris 
  is 
  black, 
  veined 
  with 
  gold, 
  the 
  latter 
  

   pigment 
  being 
  in 
  far 
  lesser 
  abundance 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  

   typical 
  form. 
  The 
  vocal 
  sacs 
  are 
  strongly 
  pigmented 
  

   with 
  black, 
  pale 
  grey 
  when 
  swollen 
  out.
