AMPHisBvENiDiE. Dr. J. E. Gray has published a revision of 
the genera and species of this family (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1865, 
p. 442). The genera and species are characterized. He enu- 
merates 21 species*, 2 of which belong to the Mediterranean 
fauna, 5 to that of Tropical Africa, and 14 to that of Tropical 
America. As in his Catalogue, he distinguishes the four 
families TrogonophidoPy Chh'otidcBy Amphishainidaiy and Lepi- 
dosternid(Bj the genera of the third being rearranged thus : — 
Tribe 1. Amphisb^rnina. Head depressed, rounded on the sides in front; 
nostrils on the upper part of the sides of the head. 
A. Lateral and dorsal lines distinct : 1. Blanns (Wagl.). 
D. Lateral lines distinct ; dorsal none or very indistinct. 
a. Nasal plates large, extending across the muzzle : 2. Amphishana 
(L.) ; 3. Cynisca (Gray). 
^ We may add four others omitted in Dr. Gray’s memoir, viz. A. quadri- 
frms (Peters) from West Africa, A. camura (Cope), A. antilicnsis (Rhdt.), 
and A. heterozonata (Burm.) from Tropical America. We understand that 
the A, innocens (Weinland) has been previously described.
