Excerpt from Prodromus of the Zoology of Victoria, Vol. 2: Or Figures and Descriptions of the Living Species of All Classes of the Victorian Indigenous Animals

The second plate, 102, gives the first recognisable figure of one of the most extraordinary of Australian Lizards, the Rugged Stump-tail, or Shingle-back, Lizard; the short head-like tail, and very large, thick, rugged scales of which suggest two of the popular names given to it.

The next plate, 103, shows one of what I venture to call our worm-snakes, the Typhlops nigrescens, which burrows in the light soils of the warm northern part of the colony, and is often found in ants' nests.
