In the one specimen procured at Bhani6 there are only seven dorsal lines, but the 

 external lines are not very distinct, and each consists of a chain of spots, Six lines 

 commence behind the shoulder, but the two central lines soon unite, so that the 

 number is reduced to five, the outer linear arrangements of spots only commencing 

 about the middle of the flanks on which the spotting is very distinct. The fur gener- 

 ally has a warm rufous tinge, and the specimen in its general character corresponds 

 to the V. rasse of Horsfield. The barring of the tail with brown and yellowish-white 

 is very distinct, and ten brown bars may be detected, becoming narrower and more 

 indistinct as they are traced backwards, the tip being white, tinged with yellowish, 

 a colour which is rather marked on the upper surface of the tail generally.
