I've found image examples of T m marcianus, but I can't seem to find any of T m praeocularis, or T m bovalli - can anyone point me in the right direction, or give me a written description?

Both these photos are taken from the book "The Garter Snake, Evolution and Ecology" By Douglas A. Rossman, Neil B. Ford and Richard A. Seigel.

Thank you so much for the scans, Steve! I've ordered a copy of the book from Amazon, it looks like it will be a friggin' necessity as my collection grows.
