GUNN ON THE ENTOMOLOGY OF NORFOLK. 373 



Crested Anolis, (Anolis vcUfer.) A male specimen of tliis curious 

 West Indian lizard lias been very kindly given me by Mr. I^. L. Austen, of 

 Croydon. It is intermediate between the geckoes and the iguanas. It has 

 the sticky feet of the former, and the pouch of the latter. The body of my 

 specimen is about four-and-a-half inches, and his tail six-and-a-half inches 

 long. The colour is whitey-brown, barred with black. He is excessively 

 quick both in running and jumping. I have placed him in the box "with 

 the common lizards, and it is amusing to see him put out liis pouch indignantly 

 whenever they approach him. When one treads on his toes he gives it a 

 bite. The pouch when distended is very beautifid — brilHant red with some 

 blue ill the middle ; but it is only put out when the creature is irritated. 



Mud Tortoise, (Testudo pusilla.) I have a specimen of this reptile, 

 bought in Leadenhall market, December lOtli. Up to this time (February 

 20th) it has eaten nothing. I j)ut him in with the Batrachia, and he pos- 

 sessed himself of the old Toad's hole. Sometimes when I ]}\\i him on tlie 

 table he goes to the edge and throws liimself off, taking care to tuck in his 

 head out of danger. 



I shall always be glad to correspond with anyone on herpetological 

 subjects ; to forward specimens of the Natterjack Toad ; and to show my 

 collections to those who like to call.
