c. Colouration. 
1. Pedicels and Papillae. 
The dorsal stalks of the adult are chiefly dark brown while in the yoimg the 
lighter browns prevail together with relatively moi-e of the creams. In the ventral 
stalks of both adult and young the browns are less prominent than dorsally, and 
there is a marked increase in the grays and white. In the appendages all over the 
body the ends show a considerable increase in the browns over those characteristic 
for the stalks of the regions. In both adult and young the spots of origin are of 
a " dark " colour, either distinctly brown, or approaching black.
