S. concinuutus from Mutahi (2200-3200 feet), for example, are as dark dorsally as S. fragosus, whereas S. concin- natus from many lowland areas of Bougainville, as well as the small off-shore islands, are generally a much lighter golden brown dorsally. The highland S. concinnatus also tend to show a middorsal se- ries of dark brown to black blotches somewhat similar to those of S. fragosus. In addition there is a diffuse series of small dark blotches along the dorsolateral line of highland S. concinnatus which is generally lacking or is much less well defined in the populations from the lowlands of Bougainville and the off-shore islands. Each of these dark blotches along the dorsolateral line of highland S. concinnatus is often associated with a small whitish spot situated anterior to and just above the dark Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Harvard University.
