on the sides and dirty white on the
belly, the back and sides being spotted
with irregular black rings, with pure
white spot in the center Of each. Its
head is broad aud fiat, small in proper
ton to its body, with a large mouth and
teeth set in double rows. It has two
bright, prominent eyes, is covered ali
over with scales about the size Of shill-

belly near the tail which it uses in seiz-
ing its prey.
