12 EINAR LÖNNBERG AND L. G. ANDERSSON, DR. E. MJÖBERGS EXPEDITIONS TO AUSTRALIA. 3. REPTILES. 
Nnakes. 
Typhlops diversus WaitE. — Two specimens from Noonkambah, interior of 
Kimberley, N. W. Australia, agree on the whole with the description, but the 
rostral appears to be narrower. The length of the specimens is resp. 24, and 30 
cm. The type of the species was described from Queensland. 
Typhlops affinis Bror. — One specimen from Malallah, interior of Kimberley, 
N. W. Australia, found in the interior of a termite hill. 
Typhlops sp. — One specimen from Perth, W. Australia. Snout very promi- 
nent, rounded. Nostrils inferior; rostral large, more than half the width of the head, 
not extending to the level of the eyes. Nasal semidivided, the cleft proceeding from 
the second labial; preocular narrower than the ocular, in contact with second and 
third labials; eyes distinct. Preocular distinctly enlarged, which hardly is the case 
with supraocular and frontal. Four upper labials. Diameter of body 35 times in 
the total length. Tail fully twice as long as broad, ending in a small spine. 22 scales 
round the body. Colour (in spirit) yellowish white, a little dusky above. Total 
length 190 mm. Tail 9 mm. 
Resembles T. australis GRAY very much, but the long tail prohibits the indenti- 
fication with that form. 
Liasis childreni GRAY. — 8 specimens (5 from the interior of the Kimberley- 
district, 3 from Broome in a termite hill as also one of the others). 
Acalyptophis peronii Dum. & BIBR. — 7 specimens, 30 miles WSW from Cape 
Jaubert, SW from Broome, July 1911. 
This species, which is rather variable with regard to the lepidosis of the head, 
appears to be quite common at the locality quoted above, although it is not recorded 
in Lucas & LE SovärF: »The Animals of Australia» (Melbourne & London 1909). 
Hydrelaps darwiniensis BLor. — 1 specimen from Broome, July 1911. Accor- 
ding to Lucas & Lr Sovir (1. ce.) only two specimens of this snake were known up 
to 1909. The present specimen is young, only measuring 21, em.
