" I HAVE occasionally seen the common lizard, and it 

 is probably more abundant than one would suppose, 

 owing to the amount of ' cover ' for it. The slow- 

 worm is exceedingly plentiful. Both species are 

 considered venomous by the country people in this 

 district, an opinion which seems to be general in 

 country places." — Frank Davies, Newcastle-Emlyn.

" The slow-worm and the common lizard both occur, 

 the former most commonly. The latter is rare, not 

 nearly so often seen as in Sussex. The slow-worm 

 is frequently seen." — Dr. W. Baldock Fry, Builth, 

 Brecon.
