178 BRITISH LIZARDS 



VII. NoKTH Wales Province. 



The distribution of the slow-worm and the common 

 lizard in this area is given in great detail later, from 

 the inquiries made by Mr. Forrest. Both species 

 occur almost everywhere in greatly varying number 

 and proportions. — Author. 



VIII. Trent Province. 



LEICESTER. 



" The slow-worm and the common lizard are perhaps 

 equally common in the district of Charnwood Forest. 

 I have not seen either of them elsewhere. The sand 

 lizard is recorded for Charnwood Forest in 1843, by 

 Mr. James Harley, a competent observer, but there is 

 no later record. I have generally seen the slow- 

 worms in the rocky parts of Charnwood, but others 

 have been brought to me from Norfolk where there 

 are no rocks." — F. T. Mott, Birstal Hill House, near 

 Leicester. 



NOTTINGHAM. 



" All the lizards are very uncommon in this county. 

 I hear on reliable authority that the slow-worm is 

 not uncommon about railway banks in the Worksop 

 district. The viviparous lizard I have seen and 

 taken on the Barrow Hills, Averton Parish, North 

 Notts." — Kev. A. Thornley, F.L.S., South Leverton 

 Vicarage.
