Scincus sciucus L. 



Distance from snout to vent 87 mm. 



The peritoneum is especially dorsally pigmented so that 

 it looks more or less blackish. The same is the case with 

 the mesentery. The veutricle is straight but does not qiiite 

 jeach to the inguinal region. The length of the small in- 

 testine is about 86 mm. It opens on the ventral side of the 

 large intestine and in front of this opening is a broad, well 

 developed coecnm the end of which lies free to the right of 

 the mesenter}'. The opening of the small intestine projects 

 a little into the large intestine which latter measures about 

 32 mm. in length. 



Lygosoma elegantulum is provided with a ccecum, but in 

 Eumeces quinquelineatus there is hardly even any excentricity 

 in the attachment of the small intestine to the large one. 



Chalcides ocellatiis Förskal. 



Distance from snout to rent 92 mm. 



The peritoneum is brownish black. 



The ventricle is cylindrical, quite straight and termi- 

 nates halfway between the axilla and the cloacal aperture. 

 At the pylorus is a sphincter and a slight transversal fold 

 limiting the ventricle from the abruptly dilated beginning 

 part of the intestine. The length of the small intestine is 

 about 83 mm. There is a roundish coecum about as wide 

 as long, 5 mm. The large intestine is almost straight, mea- 

 suring about 30 mm. in length. There are no valves in the 

 large intestine and its contents consisted of remains of beet- 

 les. The coecum is as usual connected b}' a mesentery with 

 the small intestine and with the back of the abdominal ca- 

 vit^^. The small intestine opens into the large one on the 

 ventral side and to the right of the mesentery which is 

 chiefl}' attached to the left side of the coecum.
