1 Color. — Upper parts exquisitely lined and spotted with black on a 
drab-gray ground. Tte/grou,id-color varies tram wtaLsh too-g.ay 
on the uninclosed areas to pale broceol^.vown on those that are 
inelosed or margined with blank. .The pattern is never exactL.the 
same on any two specimens, although the general effect is sum ai. 
There is a distinct vertebral area marked with black, usually appeal, 
in,, as a more or less broken or irregular line of black on die posterior 
three-fifths, breaking up into parallel or divergent lines JJota«nte- 
riorlv; it is usually apparent from the occiput to the root ot thi tall, 
though always an interrupted line. In places, especially on the i ump, 
it often becomes a single or double row ot black spots while ante m 
orlv it may change to parallel lines or elongated mclosu.es. Onea.h 
side of the vertebral line is a parallel series ot inclosed or (occasion 
ally) solid black elongate areas, sometimes containing black spots. 
Succeeding these, laterally, are series of elongate, partially or com¬ 
pletely inclosed spots or irregular hands of drab-gray hat ing a l ">‘ 
downward and backward, and separated from one another P- J 
white areas, an especially broad transverse one usually appealing 
behind the shoulder. Upper side of neck with longitudinal black 
sties inclosing drab-gray areas anteriorly and usually open postern 
01 , Upper side of head with a broad black, usually mtenirpted 
line arising about 10 mm. above the middle of the oA.1.1 ™g and 
extending backward on either side to opposite the middle ot the tax, 
between these lateral bands are several interrupted lines o± spok s 
•laro-er behind and breaking up into small spots anterior Ij. Kje i s

d rkb-gray. Side of head with two conspicuous black longitudma 
stripes, the upper one beginning as a black spot be nn nos 11. '

extending thence to point about 80 mm. below and behind the pos ■ 
rior root of the A lower stripe, beginning behind whiskers and 
below middle of orbit, extends backward to behind ear. Jmn trans- 
;tZr across under side of head, almost joining the corresponding 
stripe* of the opposite side. The space between these blackHines is 
white except anteriorly; that between the upper one and the latex a 
crown stripe forms a large drab-gray triangle between the eye and 
ear in which there are but few small black spots. Muzzhya >o\ c p ain
