The color of the lower surface is brown, with a few whitish points on the gular region and tail, and frequently over the whole abdomen, '^he sides are darker, sometimes almost black. The upper surface is gener- ally a paler brown, with a light shade extending on each side from the nape to the base of the tail. These bands are composed of numerous short longitudinal streaks, which become separated on the base of the tail, and cover its surface to the end, or to the middle, as the case may be. This light color has generally a reddish hue, and in many speci- mens extend entirely across the dorsal region, forming a band, not un- like that of Plethodon cinereus erythronotus.
