Abstract
SUMMARY The authors have collected specimens of Geotrypetes grandisonae Taylor (Amphibia Gymnophiona Caeciliidae) from additional localities within the area from which the species was described by TAYLOR (1970a). The distinctive characters of the species are here described in greater detail together with some observations on its behaviour and ecology. The authors agree with TAYLOR that G. grandisonae is a very distinctive member of the genus.Keywords
