BREVIORA No. 238 Hemipenis (based upon the incompletely everted left organ of MCZ 69078) as follows: organ slightly bilobed, extending to the level of the ninth or tenth subeaudal; sulcus spermaticus bifurcating at the level of the third subeaudal; large spines near basal and midportions of the organ, remainder of organ covered with small spines. The faded condition of the specimens examined precludes a detailed color description. The following comments have been appended from Barbour (1910) : "All the Kingston specimens are red when adult with scattered marks on the sides of the head and throat. The young have a blackish stripe along the body and are spotted with dark brown. The throat and head are heavily marked with brown. The ground color, however, is the same as in the full-grown examples, viz., brick ; Variation: Two specimens (USNM 108531 and MCZ 73761) have 8/9 and 5/8 inf ralabials, respectively; MCZ 7374 lacks both loreal scales, and MCZ 69073 maintains only the right loreal, considerably reduced in size; USNM 102650 has a dorsal row formula 19-17-17; temporal scale counts are generally 1 + 2/1 + 2, but these scales may be variously fused or divided. Minor variation in color and pattern intensity is frequent. The head and dorsal pattern may be reduced, nearly absent, or somewhat obscured by darker pigmentation. This condition.
