DOREE. 
fin. Colour of tlie back pale brown, lighter on the belly, 
sides often of a golden yellow, and I have seen seven well- 
marked golden lines on this part, and on the middle a large 
dark spot, yellowish within, and with a light halo on its outer 
border. The whole is sometimes dusky, or with purple lines. 
When dying the colours fade greatlv- but are restored when 
life has altogether deparcea.
