On our journey this day we 

 met with a Snake of very large 

 size.wh'ch we killed, it belong- 

 ed to Genus 2, Boa. 



Caught a l.irge Lizard, with 

 a strong tooth - like process 

 aloag its back, we saw many of 

 the same kinrl,but scarcely two 

 specimens agreed incoloui. 



Were surprised by the loud 

 and contiiiue'l chattering of nu- 

 merous Parrokeets, that were 

 evidently alarmed, on ap- 

 proaching the tree were they 

 were, we found it teiiantect by 

 immense numbers of small frogs 

 of which we took several , and 

 found they adhered firmly tothe 

 leaves of the tree by means of 

 a thick gluten, which exudes 

 from their globular toes.
