the outer surface of the extremities, light broccoli-brown, brightened wi 
flesh-red, and the back and sides variegated with small brownish re spo s, 
and broken brownish red bands. The spots are arranged in two rows along 
the centre of the back and upper surface of the tail near to its base, many o 
them being partly brownish red, partly pure white. The bands are two, one 
on each side, commencing behind each ear-opening, and terminating at the 
base of the hinder leg, portions of these bands consist of freckles, other por- 
tions of somewhat circular rings, or quadrangular links, either separate or

few minute brownish red spots. The sides of the head and the under 
surface of the neck, body, and tail, dead- white.

broadest before, and both its anterior and posterior edges semicircular ; fronto- 
parietal plates contiguous; parietals subcircular; interparietal large, five- 
sided the two anterior sides meeting anteriorly, and forming an acute angle ;
