  • Note found with specimens reads: Richmond, N.D., 1966 pp 129-130 lists two specimens MCZ 1095 and 1096 as PARATYPES of Typhlops Guadeloupensis, but MCZ 1095 and 1096 are Gekkos. Richmond must have meant 10695-10696. Why Richmond did not make the whole series 10694-10697 PARATYPES is a question, but correspondence between EEW & N.D.R indicates that two specimens only were meant to be P'Types. See letters dated 12&16 March 1965.
