the apex
anteriorly on the back; 55 of these have a narrow cream-colored line
from the tip of the snout to the vent and thence onto the posterior
surfaces of the thighs. All are pustulate above; in most specimens the
pustules form no pattern, but in some they tend to form a V in the
scapular region.

B.--41 specimens: Dorsum pale tan or cream-color with brown mottling on
flanks; a brown interorbital bar and a brown chevron in scapular region.
Dorsum irregularly pustulate; in some specimens the pustules tend to
form a V in the scapular region.

C.--12 specimens: Dorsum colored like "A", but having a broad yellow
stripe narrowly bordered by black from the tip of the snout to the vent;
in some specimens there is a narrow yellow stripe on the posterior
surfaces of the thighs. The dorsum is irregularly pustulate.

D.--31 specimens: Dorsum variably streaked with cream-color or pale tan
and brown; usually a broad cream-colored stripe from eyelid to groin
bordered laterally by a somewhat narrower brown stripe; middorsal area
cream-color and separated from dorsolateral cream-colored stripe by a
brown stripe, or middorsal area brown with a cream-colored or yellow,
narrow stripe from tip of snout to vent; a dark stripe from tympanum to
flank; dorsal surfaces of heels creamy white to pale orange; anal patch
brown. A dermal ridge from posterior edge of eyelid to rump; another
ridge extends posteromedially from the eyelid; scattered pustules on the
dorsum in some specimens.

E.--17 specimens: A narrow dark stripe from snout, through nostril and
eye, over tympanum, to vent, enclosing a unicolor dorsum (reddish tan to
yellowish tan in life); heels pale tan or yellow above; anal patch
black. A faint dermal ridge from posterior edge of eyelid to rump, or
part way to rump.

F.--2 specimens: Mottled brown and cream-color above; upper lips and
upper arms white. A dermal fold from posterior edge of eyelid to rump;
scattered pustules on dorsum.

Some of these color variants are assignable to names proposed by Taylor:
"A" and "B" undoubtedly are _M. pygmaeus_ (Taylor, 1936a); "C" probably
is _M. pygmaeus_; "D" is referable to _M. minimus_ (Taylor, 1940d) in
most characteristics, although the coloration is more nearly like that
of _M. lineatissimus_ (Taylor, 1941a), a larger species characterized by
a relatively long hind limb; "E" apparently is _M. imitator_ (Taylor,
1942b); "F" is _M. albolabris_ (Taylor, 1940d). Examination of series
