Creatures 3 but he is able to move one upward or back- 
ward, and the other downward or forward, or any other 
way, at the fame time. No lefs the fabrick of his Tongue 5 
which being hollow from end to end, with a firing run- 
ning through the hollow, faften'd behind to the Os byoides, 
before to its extremity, it darts out and contracts it felf in 
an inftant : and with a Vifcous fubflance at the end, catches 
the Prey, which are Flys and other Infedrs, as we ufe to do 
Birds with Limetwigs. Thus far Pa/iarolus. 
In the Higb-boe, and other Birds of this kind, there is a 
peculiar Cyftis, wherein a Vifcous matter, like that above 
mention d, is ftored, and a Pipe deriving it thence into the 
Mouth 5 the Defcription whereof I may hereafter publifh. 
I fuppofe therefore, that upon further examination,the like 
Contrivance will be found in a Cbamozleon* 
It may be noted, That Panaroh^, about the beginning 
of his Defcription, calls the Chameleon a flow Creature : 
Yet faith afterwards, ( towards the end ) that he climbs 
Trees fo wonderfully fwift, as if he flew. He is not there- 
fore fo properly flow, as perhaps fullen and numerous. 
Bartholine (a) hath alfo the Anatomy of this Animal, but ( <0 Hift. 
tranfcribes it all out of Panax olw. In one particular much ent ' 2 * 
forgets himfelf,faying about the beginning of his Difcourfe, 
that the Chameleon hath very great Lungs 3 and in the end, 
that they are but little. 
A young brown CHAMELEON. 
A third, with black, yellow, and afti-colour mixed toge-

A CROCODILE, about two yards and ? long. 
He differs not much from a Lizard 3 chiefly in his Bulk, 
and the hardnefs of his Skin, which on his Back hath Scales 
proportionably hard and thick. In Pa?iame there are fome 
an hundred feet long 3 as is affirmed both by Job. de Lopez^ 
(b) and Job. de Levi, (c) In the Mafaum Romanum, there pj Hi ^ 11 
is a Tragical Relation of a very great one that devoured a (c/cap.'j 
Virgin, Cap. 6. The fame Animal which in the Book of 
Job is called the Leviatban, and hath been commonly taken 
to be the Whale 3 but fallly,as Bochart hath demonftrated. He 
is tolerably well defcribed by moft 3 and cunoufly figur d 
by Bejler. He breeds in divers places in both the Indies, as 
well as in Egypt,
