REPTILIA. 
gangs ise vivipara. Common Lizard. Infrequent. Oughter- 
w Moss, 1,300—1,400 ft. 
? hk agilis. Sand Lizard. I regret that I have only 
emory to trust to concerning this species. I recollect keeping 
in confinement some years ago a Lizard, which, from its dark 
colouring, variegated with glossy blue markings, could not, 
I think, be other than Z. agilis. It was a small specimen, and 
was taken on Cocklee Fell (Oughtershaw Moss) during a hot 
dry August. This capture would be interesting, both from the 
habitat being an unusual one for Z. agi/is, as well as for the fact 
that Z. vivifara is the only Lizard definitely recorded for 
Yorkshire (Handbook of Yorks. Vert., p. xli).
