Colour. — The upper surface of the head, the hack, and the tail superi- 
ority deep yellowish brown, the apical portion of the latter lightest ; on the 
back and tail the ground colour is broken by various variegations partly 
yellow and partly liver-brown, on the middle of the back and base of the 
tail these variegations consist of one, two, or more series ol small square 
yellow spots, each either placed upon a liver-brown bar or spot, or edged on 
both its sides with that colour. On the edges of the back and tail the same 
colours constitute the variegations, but instead of being in spots or bars they 
are in narrow longitudinal lines commencing near the outer angle of the eye 
and terminating beyond the last half of the tail ; these lines are three in 
number on each side, viz.: — the middle one yellow, and the outer and inner ones 
liver-brown. On the tail these lines are rather indistinct and often broken. 
The sides of the body from the eyes backwards are greyish brown, profusely 
variegated with spots and irregular vertical stripes of yellow and liver- 
brown. Outer surface of fore legs light yellowish brown freckled with 
minute, umber-brown and yellowish white spots ; the outer surface of hinder 
legs purplish brown and freckled with the same colours and in the same
