Abstract
MR. SMEDLEY'S note on viviparity in the sea-snake (Laticauda colubrina) in NATURE of Aug. 30, p. 312, needs some comment. My statement (which he quotes) that all sea-snakes are viviparous was not a reiteration of that of previous authors, but a confirmation, based upon personal knowledge of the group. In the light of fresh information, however, it requires some qualification.
