GENUS XL ANOLIS. ANGLES. 



ANOI.I* The animals of this genus are nearly allied to those 



of the last, in the form of their bodies and the struc- 

 ture of their feet, except that, in the latter, only the 

 first join: lit' the toes are scaly below. The body is co- 

 vi n <! v ill) fine granular scales; the tongue is not cleft, 

 and is attached to the floor of the mouth ; the tail is 

 cylindrical in some species, and compressed in others. 



The ancles are inhabitants of America, where they

GENUS XII. LACERTA. LIZARDS. 



In the numerous tribe of lizards, properly so called, I.ACEB.TA 

 the body is covered on its upper part with very small Genus - 

 hexagonal or rounded scales, disposed in numerous 

 transverse bands, and below with small smooth square 

 plates, disposed in longitudinal rows. The head re- , 



semi>les an oblong pyramid with four sides, covered 

 above and on the sides with smooth plates. The tongue 

 is forked, and capable of being thrust far out of the 

 mouth. The opening to the ear is oval or oblong, and 

 very apparent. The tail is at least as long as the body, 

 quite cylindrical, composed of jointed rings, and has 

 no upper crest. All the feet are nearly of equal length, 

 and under each thigh there is a row of small, rough, 

 porous, scaly tubercles. Each foot has five toes, com- 

 pletely separate, thin, and terminated by small crook- 

 ed claws. Many of the species inhabit woody situa- 

 tions, and seek their food among the foliage, or in the
