Three other specimens are quite variable.
One is similar to above, but darker, another has the ground color of # 96, but the finer mottling of # 95. The last is similarly dark but with coarse dark mottling like the above specimen. Beneath the 1st of the two above specimens are gray beneath with much yellowish spotting, the last is similarly colored, but the gray as a very coarse marbling.
