Sceloporus floridanus and S. undulatus are very close relatives; 
hence so far as the lizards are concerned, comparsions between the 
two sets of experiments are not far-fetched. Unfortunately, the 
insects offered have nothing more than the genus in common, and 
that in only a few cases. However, the comparisons possible on 
this basis are given:

Summing up Judd’s experiments, we have the following results:

“Protected” group 4 10 1 
“Non-protected”? STOUP 200... occ 8 10 1 
Evidently these Sceloporus were hard to please, accepting barely 
more than a third of all the insects offered; 66 per cent. of the 
individuals of ‘‘protected” species were refused and 52 per cent. of 
the “non-protected”’ group. 
Dr. 8. Lockwood briefly records the food habits of the Florida 
chameleon (Anolis principalis) in captivity. The lizards ate flies 
and spiders, but would not take the potato beetle (Leptinotarsa 
decemlineata), and, in fact, were not fond of beetles at all. Dr. Lock- 
wood cites an observation by Bell, that a pet Anolis, catching an 
Epeira diadema by the leg, was bitten by its captive and death soon 
ensued. 
MAMMALS. 
Finn records" brief experiments with an East African mongoose 
(Crossarchus fasciatus). This animal refused one specimen of a 
frog (Xenopus levis) and ate and vomited another. It ate and
