The measurements and density of the pores differ slightly according to family and species, but the array is characteristic and immediately recognizable. In boids without pits, the array covers the entire surface of each scale that contains infrared receptors. In boids with pits, the array covers the fundus of each receptor pit organ. In crotaline pit organs the array is present on both the outer and inner surfaces of the receptor-containing membrane, and on the epithelium of the wall of the inner chamber. This inner chamber Wall is sculpted into a tight array of large and small domed structures, on the surface of which the pore array appears. We speculate that the array of domes in the crotaline pit organ functions as a light trap to prevent infrared rays that penetrate into the inner chamber from being reflected back onto the receptors in the pit membrane. On the other hand, the array of pores, present in all species, appears to reflect away and diffuse visible radiation that might have enough energy to heat-stimulate the receptors and interfere with the target stimulus, i.e., infrared radiation. infrared reception, and were found only in regions associated with the infrared receptors, we surmised that they played a major role in the receptor funcTwo groups of snakes possess infrared receptors: those of the family Boidae (the boids), and those of the subfamily Crotalinae (the crotalines) of the family Viperidae. The boids have the receptors in the labial scales, some without specialized structures, and others in the fundus of specialized labial pits. The crotalines, on the other hand, have the receptors in a thin membrane suspended between inner and outer chambers of a pair of pits in the loreal region. The three different types are illustrated in Fig. l. While doing a series of comparative anatomical studies on the structure of the infrared receptor organs, we were struck by certain surface features that seemed to be possessed in common by all species having these organs, and that have never before been reported in the literature. Since these surface features were common to all species with tion. As a first step in clarifying this role, we did a scanning and transmission electron microscope study of all surface areas associated with these receptors.
