66 LIZARDS 



This creature inhabits the southern states from the Caro- 

 linas westward to Texas, and northward up the Mississippi 

 Valley to Kansas and Wisconsin. It feeds chiefly upon in- 

 sects, and being quite without legs, it forms an excellent con- 

 necting link between the lizards and serpents. There are 

 quite a number of species of legless lizards.
