PREFACE. 
eee 
Tur manuscript of this second volume of the ‘ Catalogue of Lizards’ 
was so far advanced at the time of publication of the first, that it 
has been possible to issue both in the same year. 
The present volume contains an account chiefly of Lizards of the 
New World; and among the contributions to our collection, the 
donations made by Messrs. Salvin and Godman and by the U.S. 
National Museum are the most extensive and important. 
Our best thanks for communications and the loan of specimens 
are due to Dr. Strauch, Director of the Museum of the Imperial 
Academy of St. Petersburg, Professor Vaillant, of the Muséum 
d'Histoire Naturelle de Paris, Dr. Boettger, of the Senckenberg 
Museum, and M. Lataste.
