 collected by Mr. Nelson, but there are two specimens in the British 

 Museum collected by Forrer on the Tres Marias {Leptopliis diplotropis 

 Boulenger, Oat. Snakes Brit. Mus., II, p. 110).

In No. 681 the fourth labials on both sides are divided horizontally, 

 so as to suggest a subpreocular. This is an adult male, and is uni- 

 formly colored above, without any markings. The adolescent specimens 

 are uniform above, with a few scales tipped with black j the anterior 

 part of the underside has square blackish spots. The two young ones 

 have above brown, dark-edged, squarish spots, separated by narrow 

 light-colored interspaces. They are marked underneath like the adoles- 

 cent specimens.
