It was evident that, before my attempt to capture 

 the Iguana, he had once been assailed, perhaps by 

 hawk or eagle, and his tail broken off. The new 



BROKEN TAIL OF IGUANA 



scalation is plainly shown in the photograph, two joints 

 below the second break, — fully seven inches of the 

 nine which came off in my grasp being sham tail. Soon 

 the break heals over and the new growth begins to 

 push out. 



The adolescent cells in the exposed wedge of cartil- 

 age are so fall of life and tail-making vigour that the 

 renewed member is sometimes double, or even triple.
