  the 
  

   supra-temporal 
  folds 
  ; 
  the 
  distance 
  between 
  them 
  on 
  

   the 
  scapular 
  region 
  equals 
  one-sixth 
  to 
  two-ninths 
  

   the 
  length 
  from

  a

   Lower 
  parts 
  smooth, 
  

  

  granulate

  Coloration 
  very 
  variable. 
  Yellowish

  brown 
  

   above, 
  variously 
  spotted 
  or 
  dotted 
  with 
  dark 
  brown 
  

   or 
  black 
  ; 
  a 
  dark 
  brown 
  or 
  black 
  can 
  thai 
  streak 
  and 
  a 
  

   larger 
  temporal 
  spot 
  ; 
  upper 
  lip 
  edged 
  with 
  brown 
  or 
  

   black, 
  with 
  a 
  light 
  labial 
  streak 
  above 
  from 
  the 
  tip 
  of 
  

   the 
  snout 
  to 
  the 
  shoulder 
  ; 
  some 
  specimens

   with 
  large 
  dark 
  spots 
  or 
  marblings

  The 
  light 
  spot 
  indicative 
  of 
  the 
  presence 
  

   of 
  the 
  frontal 
  gland 
  is 
  usually 
  very 
  distinct, 
  more 
  

   so 
  than 
  is 
  the 
  rule 
  in 
  the 
  other 
  species 
  of 
  Rami.
