PLATE LXIII 



BLIND SNAKE, Glauconia 



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

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



Greatly enlarged heads of Blind Snakes Glauconia dulcis 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 suproocular plates) with G. dulcis, and the absence of these with G. humilis.
