Patterns C and D are endpoints of continuous variation, the dense variegation or "flames" of C gradually superimposing the bands and lightly variegated pattern in D. There appear to be no good objective criteria for discriminating various stages in this continuous variation. Thus, the distinction between morphs 9 and 10 is one of apical coloration. METHODS Computerized stepwise multiple regression analysis using pro- gram BMD02R (Dixon, 1968) was performed to determine whether the degree of polymorphism in populations from dif-.
