PLATE LXIII 



BLIXD SXAKE, Glaucoma 



A mature example. Two species are found in the Southwest. Many inhabit tropical America and tropical 

 portions of the old world. They live, in ant-hills and look like polished worms 



Greatly enlarged heads of Blind Snakes Glauconia dttlcis and G. humilis. The latter from both 

 top and side. The difference between the two species will be seen in the possession of a pair of plates 

 between the eyes (the supraocular plates) with G. dulcis, and the absence of these with G. humilis.
