TUATERA LIZARDS!!! 
(Sphenodon punctatum, SCLATER) ; 
GRAY). 
(Hatteria punctata, 
FOR THE STUDY OF COMPARATIVE 
ANATOMY. 
This Reptile, which differs in s°me important structural characters from 
every other known Saurian, and in its osteology is the most Bird-like of 
extant Lizards, was first described and figured by Dr. Gray under the name 
of Hatteria punctata, and has been generally designated so till lately, when 
(as Mr. Sclater informs us) ‘it was most fortunately discovered that the 
generic term of Sphenodon had been previously applied to a Specimen of its 
Skull in the Museum of the College of Surgeons.”” This term has accord- 
ingly been substituted for Hatteria, which Mr. Sclater denounces as ‘‘vile 
and barbarous.” 
N.B.—The Luatera Lizards may either be had Alive or Preserved in 
Spirits of Wine.
