A TroptcaL REPTILE NEAR RicHMOND INDIANA. 
’ 
By D. W. DENNIS. 
A large reptile, Iguana tuberculata, was taken three miles from TRich- 
mond, Ind., in October. The man who shot it, a negro, undertook to carry 
it home by the tail and broke off what he estimates was a foot and a half 
of the end of its tail. What remains is about three and a half feet long. 
As this is a tropic species, we suppose that it must have escaped from 
some traveling show or from some private collection. No clue has been 
found. The skin will be prepared for the Harlham museum by Ward of 
Rochester. ;
