summary:
  Geophis aquilonaris_ differs from both species in having a higher number of ventral and subcaudal scales, a longer tail (tail contained in snout-vent length three to four times in _aquilonaris_, four and one half to six times in _dugesii_, 11 to 12 times in _cancellatus_), and in having more bands on the body (28 to 32 in _cancel latus_, two to seven in _dugesii_). four species (_cancellatus_, _dugesii_, _chalybeus_, and _semidoliatus_) have alternating pale and dark transverse markings and therefore superficially resemble _aquilonaris_.

  Published July 14, 1958 UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Lawrence, Kansas PRINTED IN THE STATE PRINTING PLANT TOPEKA, KANSAS 1958 27-6708 Systematic Status of the Colubrid Snake, Leptodeira discolor Günther BY WILLIAM E. DUELLMAN At the time of completing my study of the genus _Leptodeira_ (1958) I had seen no specimens of _Leptodeira discolor_, a species described by Günther in 1860 and subsequently referred to the genus _Hypsiglena_ by Cope (1887), Boulenger (1894), and Mocquard (1908), and to the genus _Pseudoleptodeira_ by Taylor (1938). Variation._--Data on the syntypes of _Leptodeira discolor_ furnished by J. C. Battersby give some indication of the variation in the species.

summary:
  Nevertheless, _fitchi_ consistently has a dark ground color, whereas _parietalis_ is highly variable, and the color of an occasional specimen (for example KU 17032 from Douglas County, Kansas) matches _ornata_ in olive coloration. These unusually pale specimens of _parietalis_ differ from _ornata_ in not having a continuous black edge along each side of dorsal stripe; black pigment of this area is concentrated into rows of spots alternating with those of lower series.

summary:
  Its timber is very hard and fine grained, and will stand the weather better than most other South American trees; but it cannot be procured in any great quantity, because, like many other trees of the Amazon, it is of a solitary habit, only two or three, or at most half a dozen, growing within the circuit of a mile. All ob you lay hold on de creepin' vine, an' pull um out from de tree.
