Description.— No. 55298, from Sanchez, Santo Domingo, collected in October 1916 by Dr. W. L. Abbott. Head rather de- pressed, snout strongly projecting, somewhat rounded when viewed from above; diameter of body varying from 7 mm. on the neck to 10 mm. at midbody and near the tail, contained in total length 30 times. Rostral broader than the first median scale behind it (the "prefrontal") about two-sevenths the width of the head, extending well behind a line drawn between the anterior edges of the eyes; nostril on the lateral horizontal edge, on a suture that extends from the middle of the upper edge of the second supralabial to the rostral suture at the lateral horizontal edge, the lower anterior nasal thus being in contact with. Figure 87.—Typhlops lumbricalis: a, Top of head; b, side of head; c, chin. No. 55298, from Sanchez, Dominican Republic. Three times natural size. the first and second supralabials and the upper posterior one with the second and third; nasals not in contact behind the rostral; preocular as wide and as high as the ocular, in contact with the third supra- labial; eye very distinct; ocular with its anterior edge forming a compound curve like an inverted S, in contact with the third and fourth supralabials. An enlarged elongate "parietal" scale bordering the upper half of the posterior edge of the ocular plate; parietals separated from each other by a frontal and an interparietal; the three median scale
