is fully as large as the specimen measured by Dr. Gunther, viz., about 5 feet long, 5 inches 
high, and 11 inches in circumference. The specimen was captured on the North Coast. 
* Professor Peters considers — 
Typhlops australis (Gray), and 
—- preissi (Jan), as identical; and also, 
- nigrescens (Gray), 
- polygrannnicus (Schley), 
- rlippcllii (Jan), 
- temminckii (Jan ), as one and the same species.
