I3O OPHIOMORPHA. 



Csecilia Ifoyara, Margrave, 



Length about twelve times its greatest diameter; an- 

 nuli 25, distinct; muzzle blunt ; color black, white ridges. 



Daubenton (21) makes this synonymous with C. ten- 

 taculata and C. rugis, Linnasus, but that is evidently an 

 error. Bonnaterre (20, p. 73, pi. 34) figures and de- 

 scribes a species under this name, but he has evidently 

 confounded it with C. tentaculata and an Amphisbaena. 

 Dumeril and Bibron (12) also express doubt as to wheth- 

 er it is not property one of the last named genus. Not 

 having a specimen I am unable to determine its true re- 

 lation, but am inclined to think the species well founded, 

 and for this reason have inserted it here. The animal 

 has been found living three feet under ground in wet 

 places. 



Habitat Brazil and Guiana. 



Caecilia gelatinosn. 



Length twenty times its greatest diameter ; annuli be- 

 tween 300 and 400 ; color brownish. 



This may be a variety of E. glutinosum.
