214 PATAGONIAN EXPEDITIONS: ZOOLOGY. 



personal experience, but I am not sure that he ever published it. The 

 Swedish expedition, 1895-1896, under Dr. Otto Nordenskiold, how- 

 ever, collected lizards in southern Patagonia, upon which Mr. L. G. 

 Andersson has reported (Oefvers. Vetensk. Akad. Foerh. Stockholm, 1898, 

 No. 7, pp. 457-462). He records two species of LiolcBtnus from Puerto 

 Gallegos, and one from Coyle, the former locality a little south of the 

 other, just north of Corriken Aike, where Hatcher made his observation. 

 Furthermore, the Swedish expedition found two species of lizards as far 

 south as the Rio Grande, on the east coast of Tierra del Fuego. It may be 

 added that there are specimens of Liolceniits magellaniciis in the British 

 Museum from several localities on Magellan Strait. As a matter of fact the 

 latter species is confined to this part of Patagonia and probably does not- 

 reach northward to within 60 miles of the Rio Santa Cruz, which Mr. Brown 

 would make the southern limit of the lizards in South America. The 

 fact that the country south of the Santa Cruz possesses a peculiar species 

 shows that it has not been introduced by man.
