Common in the Southeeistern U. S. Occurs 

 sparingly in Ohio and has recently been seen at 

 Cincinnati. Is largely arboreal in its habits, and 

 insectivorous in diet. The males are brownish,

 Phrynosoma (Genus) 



40. Phrynosoma cornutum (Harlan). 



HORNED LIZARD. 

 This is the "Horned Toad" of the pet stores. 

 With other members of this western genus, it has 

 the habit of occasionally squirting blood from the 

 corner of the eye. It will not drink water from a 

 dish or other receptacle, but absorbs it when sprin- 

 kled on its skin. 



Ophisaurus (Genus) 

 41. Ophisaurus ventralis (Linne). 

 GLASS SNAKE. 

 This lizard inhabits the Southeastern U. S. and 

 extends north to Michigan. The body is elongated 

 and serpentine, with no traces of limbs. The tail, 

 which forms about two-thirds of the total length, 

 can be discarded at will, but this habit is shared 

 by many other lizards, and this species is unusual 

 only in being destitute of the limbs which are us- 

 ually present in lizards.
