 (Half size) 



The Pine Tree Lizard in its variations is of wide distriljution in the United 

 States. It does well in the terrarium and becomes quite a pet. These and other 

 lizards are more numerous than is generally supposed. This is due in a measure 

 to their cleverness in keeping out of view, having much the same habit as squir- 

 rels of hiding on the opposite sides of trees and branches from the oljserver.

 (Slightly reduced) 



Six-Lined Lizards pfissess a remarkable grace and attractive coloring, especially 

 the males, whose under-sides are Ijarred with brilliant metallic blue, carried partly 

 up on the side, adding to the sleek, corseted effect of the animal. They are native 

 to the Southeastern States. 



No lizards should be caught or picked up by the tail, as they will purposely lose 

 them in order to escape the hold.
