CROCODITJANS, LIZARDS, AND SNAKES.

The afTalr now bociimo very intcrc^ling. .Fust where the blood came from I couUl 

 not (U'torinino with eertaiiity, the whole thing having happened so suddenly and 

 unexpectedly ; yet the appe.-iranco seemed to indicate that the blood came from the 

 region about one of the eyes. There appeared to be a considerable quantity of the 

 blood, since on the sides of the A'essel and on the wall near it I counted ninety of 

 the little splotches. A consultation was had with Dr. Stejneger the next day with 

 regard to the projiriety of dashing tho* animal into the water again to discover, if 

 possible, where the blood came from. It was thought, liowever, that such blood 

 lettiugs must be somewhat exliausting, and that it would be better to allow the 

 animal a day to recuperate. While talking, I picked up the lizard and was liolding 

 it between my thumb and middle linger and stroking its horns with my forefinger. 

 All at once a quantity of blood was thrown out against my fingers, and a portion of 

 it ran down on the animal's neck ; and this blood came directly out of the right eye. 

 It was shot backward and a]ipeared to issue from the outer canthus. It was impos- 

 sible to determine just how much there was of the blood, but it seemed there must 

 have been a (juarter of a teaspoonful. I went so far as to taste a small quantity of 

 it, but all that I could detect was a slight musky llavor.
