typhlops, the opportunity was afforded me, through the 
kindness of Professor R. Broom, of Victoria College, Cape 
Colony, of examining the eyes of Chrysochloris hotten- 
tota and ©. asiatica, which are herein described. I wish, 
therefore, to thank Professor Broom for my whole supply of 
material consisting of— 
One adult, labelled Chrysochloris (Amblysomus) 
hottentota, Smith. 
Two heads of same. 
One, three-quarter grown, labelled C. asiatica, L. = 
©. capensis, Shaw = C. aurea, Pullar. 
Two young of same: (A) newly born, (B) somewhat older. 
The adults of C. hottentota and C. asiatica were 
retained as specimens, those two forms being not otherwise 
represented here. 
T have also, again to thank Professor Baldwin Spencer for 
the use of the Biological Laboratory in the University of 
Melbourne, where this work has been done.
