   Section  1. Subdivision (b) of section 2108 of the vehicle and traffic

 transferee in the space provided therefor on the certificate or  as  the
 commissioner  prescribes, and cause the certificate and assignment to be
 mailed or delivered to the transferee. The assignment  and  warranty  of
 title  required  by this section shall include a statement signed by the
 transferor stating either, (i) any facts or  information  known  to  him
 that  could  reasonably affect the validity of the title of the vehicle;
 or, (ii) that no such facts or  information  are  known  to  him.    THE
