7. n. A scincoid lizard; any member of the family Scincidæ in a broad sense, as the adda, Scincus officinalis, to which the name probably first attached. They are harmless creatures, some inches long, natives mostly of warm countries, with small, sometimes rudimentary limbs, and generally smooth scales. Those with well-formed legs resemble other lizards, but some (as of the scarcely separable family Anguidæ) are more snake-like or even worm-like, as the slow-worm of Europe. Common skinks in the United States are the blue-tailed, Eumeces fasciatus, and the ground-skink, Oligosoma laterale. See Anguis, Eumeces, Seps, and cuts under Cyclodus and Scincus.
