above the ear to base of tail. A continuous white line from ear to tail. A broken 
black band from axilla to groin. 
D. —Typical in structure, except that pnefrontals only just meet at inner 
angles, and frontonasal and rostral completely separated. 
Dorsal surface of body. —Ground colour bright reddish-brown; a faint but 
distinct dark vertebral band, edged on each side with a continuous series of light 
spots ; a light dorso-lateral line from the supraciliary border to the base of the 
tail; between this and the line bordering the vertebral band a regular longitudinal 
series of light spots occupying the centres of alternate scales. Sides. —A broad 
black band, more or less broken up into spots, from eye to base of tail. A 
longitudinal series of narrow white streaks from ear to base of tail. An uninter¬ 
rupted band of ground colour between axilla and groin. 
E. —Typical in structure. 
Dorsal surface of body. —Groundcolour reddish-brown ; each scale with a light 
spot in the centre ; five black longitudinal lines ; a white continuous dorso-lateral 
line on each side from supraciliary border to the base of the tail ; thus in all six 
dorsal light longitudinal lines. Sides. —A broad black band, with numerous light 
vertical streaks from eye, above ear, to base of tail. A narrow light interrupted 
line from ear above limbs to base of tail. A linear series of faint grey spots 
between axilla and groin. 
F. —Typical in structure. Scales round the body thirty-two. 
Dorsal surface of body. — Giound colour reddish-brown; with five longitudinal 
black bands ; a white dorso-lateral line from supraciliary border to tail. Sides. —A 
broad black band bearing a uniform series of reddish spots from eye to base of 
tail; a narrow white band from ear to tail; a black band from axilla to groin, 
extending also in front of fore-limb and behind hind-limb. 
G. —Typical in structure, except pnefrontals separated. Scales round the 
body twenty-eight. 
Dorsal surface of body. —Ground colour olive-brown, with five longitudinal 
black bands, those next the vertebral bifurcating behind ; a light dorso-lateral 
line from supraciliary border to tail, thus forming live black and six light longi¬ 
tudinal bands along the back. Sides. —A broad black band bearing a linear series 
of light spots, more or less confiuent into longitudinal streaks, from eye to base of 
tail. A narrow white band from ear to hind-limb. A broken black band from 
below the ear to groin.
