Anelytropsis papillosus, Cope, I. c. pi. — . fig-. 9. 



Head distinguishable iVoui the body by its slightly greater width, 

 slightly contracted at the position of the orbits, aud continued as a 

 distinct muzzle. Kostral shorter than the other head-shields to- 

 gether, forming sutures with the first labial, the nasal, and the 

 pr;€trontal ; eye scarcely visible through the ocular plate, which is 

 followed by a small postocular ; three large azygos upper head- 

 shields, viz. a pra'frontal, a frontal, and an interparietal, all broader 

 than long, frontal largest ; lour upj)er labials, third very small, 

 fourth largest, second and third in contact with the ocular; a large 

 mental, and a very large sublabial on each side : a small azygos 

 scale succeeds the mental, and this is connected with the small 

 posterior labials by a narrow plate on each side. Kostral, nasal, and 

 anterior two labials marked with minute papilla), which when re- 

 moved leave punctiform impressions. Scales with rounded edges, 

 everywhere equal, including the pncanal region ; they form 20 (?) 

 longitudinal series, and commence immediately behind the inter- 

 parietal. Tail measuring a little more than one fourth of the total 

 length, with obtuse extremity. Erownish flesh-colour. 



Total length 170 millim., tail 45. 



Near Jalapa.

Nostril pierced in the large rostral shield, which caps the tip of 

 the snout, connected with the posterior border of that shield by a 

 short curved suture. Scales subequal, the longitudinal series in 

 odd number. Several small scales border the anal cleft.

 his figure (9 c) shows them to be in odd number, on the anterior part of the body 

 at any rate.
