Colour.—The upper surface of the head, the back, and the sides superiorly
two coloured, the colours nearly in equal proportion, and not disposed in any
regular order. The one, the light colour, is intermediate between yellowish
grey and brownish purple red (rusty grey); the other is deep umber-brown.
The former exists in waved or serpentine bands, or in large irregular blotches,
and in most abundance about the middle of the back and on the upper
portions of the sides. The dark colour is in large blotches or small spots,
each partially or entirely surrounded by the light tint. The prevailing colour
of the outer surface of the extremity is rusty grey, banded with umber-brown ;
the bands most distinct and most numerous on the hinder ones. The sides of
the head are also rusty grey, with one or two small umber-brown spots, or
short bars, on the upper lip; the rostral canthus on each side is umber-brown,
and anteriorly each line is prolonged downward to the edge of the upper lip.
The under parts are pale cream-yellow, finely mottled towards the middle of
the belly with yellowish grey; the hinder portion of the belly and the pubic
region a very pale tint of deep orange-coloured brown. Colour of the eyes
not known.
F orm, &c.—Head subtriangular ; body full; the sides very protuberant;
extremities moderately long, and rather slender. The first, third, and fourth
toes of the fore-feet nearly of equal length, the second considerably longer ;
behind the base of the outermost toe a rather large hemispherical warty protuberance,
and behind the innermost a simple narrow lengthened tubercle ;
the soles of the feet and the toes with small convex tubercles. The toes of
