The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The crania of leporid lagomorphs are uniquely fenestrated, including the posterior cranial bones and the lateral portion of the maxilla. The functional significance of the highly fenestrated rostrum has received considerably little attention, despite being absent in other mammalian herbivores with a long rostrum.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Neuroanatomical research has progressed considerably in several vertebrate lineages, yet studies of reptilian brain morphology remain markedly underdeveloped. Here we provide the first description of macroscopic brain anatomy and its ontogeny in the viperid Bothrops moojeni, based on a sample of seven individuals.

A Lizard Swallowed by a Viper. [PDF]
Nature, 1889 As it appears from the “Notes” in the last number of NATURE that the swallowing of a lizard by a viper is not usual, I may mention an instance which came under my own observation. Many years since, I captured a viper on Cannock Chase, in Staffordshire. The animal was rather sluggish, so I got it into a box unhurt, and carried it home.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Phylogenetic limitations seem more decisive than life habit in the diversity of reptile skin micro‐ornamentation. The ancestral form possibly had polygonal cells with regular borders, smooth surface and had no ridges. Cell morphology change gradually on a single scale, especially widths at scale base are greater than those at middle.
