what I saw that the Petrels feed on them.— This animal from its organization belongs evidently to the Clerphales sans coquilles of Cuvier; although so widely different comes nearest to Biphora.— if my observation is accurate, (b) the not having the two open perforations, or the mouth anus is the most wide difference.— The organ which I have described as Liver (??) bears some analogy to an organ in animal (Page 70).— Erichthus 361 Septem 2d.

As far as habits go Cuvier is right in ranking Trigonocephalus with Crotalus, contrary to Dic Class.— Inhabits the sandy hillocks cannot be uncommon:— Octob: 12 Found two more; the noise from tail audible at about 6 feet distance: live in holes: lizard in stomach: The orifice of the fang is very elliptic

Bahia Blanca 1832 Octob: Dipus: (Gme:) (777 not spirits) (a) Copied This little animal does not appear to agree exactly with any of the subgenera of Cuvier.— It was caught Octob. 3d at Monte Hermoso in B. Blanca.— In bringing at night a bush for fire wood, it ran out with its tail singed.— So that probably it inhabits bushes:— it could not run very fast: it is a male: after skinning the head it has a much more elongated appearance than it had in Nature.— Clytia 437: 438 (b) Coralline, with
