. Breviora. 1964 AN ANGUIl) FROM MONTSERRAT 3 Description: As this species rather closely resembles mono- tropis, I note in square brackets the features in which monotropis differs. Upon receipt of the draft of my manuscript Mr. Benjamin Shreve kindly examined an additional seven specimens of monoivopis: in the Museum of Comparative Zoolo<iy for the characters which I had thought useful. His data are incorporated here. Shreve's counts on the type of montisscrraii, when they differ from mine, are cited in parentheses. Head broad; Avidth: length to anterior margin of earhole = :1.

His data are incorporated here. Shreve's counts on the type of montisscrraii, when they differ from mine, are cited in parentheses. Head broad; Avidth: length to anterior margin of earhole = :1. Rostral one and a half times as broad as high, in contact with 1st labials, nasals, and supranasals. Pair of supra- nasals each meeting other supranasal, rostral, nasal, upper postnasal and frontonasal. Pair of frontonasals, each meet- ing other frontonasal, supranasal, upper postnasal, canthal and median prefrontal. Pair of canthals each meeting fronto- nasal, 2 prefrontals, 1st and 2nd loreal and upper postnasal [the same or meeting both postnasals and only 1st loreal]. Three prefrontals (sutures separating them incomplete posteriorly). Median prefrontal meets frontonasals, canthals and lateral pre- frontals [and sometimes frontal] ; each lateral prefrontal meets median prefrontal, canthal, 2nd loreal [1st or 2nd loreal], 1st and 2nd supraoculars [1st and 2nd or 1st only] and Fig. 2. Lateral view, head of Diploglossus montisserrati type. Frontal tapers to a point anteriorly, wide posteriorly; meets pre- frontals, 2nd and 3rd supraoculars, frontoparietals and inter- parietal; broadly in contact with frontoparietals, narrowly in.
