An assemblage of amphisbaenian embryos has allowed us to characterize the external morphology of the developing embryos as well as the chondrification and ossification sequences of their skeletal elements. The external characterization of embryos serves as an incomplete developmental table . In contrast to the condition in other squamates, the premaxilla seems to arise azygously from the beginning or to represent very early fusion during embryogenesis. The tabulosphenoid forms from two cartilages to which are added extensive membranous ossifications. The two parietals engage in medial fusion at the midline, where the anterior process of the synotic tectum ossifies and forms the sagittal crest. The lateral element-X does not ossify until very late in embryogenesis and is interpreted as an epiphysial ossification. The compound mandibular bone arises from the ossification of the posterior part of Meckel's cartilage and the fusion of at least two dermal centers, interpreted as surangular and splenial. The vertebral column shows an antero-posterior gradient of vertebral differentiation. The number of vertebrae is fixed from the beginning of their differentiation. The remnants of pectoral and pelvic girdles are represented by cartilaginous rods. Some reproductive data obtained during the collection of data could be compared with those from the literature.
