Case 4 contains the Lizards which have 
their teeth placed on the edge of the jaws, and 
so firmly fixed to them as to appear part of the 
jaws themselves; as the Chameleons and Agamas. 
The Agamae ( Agamo ), are placed in the 
upper part of this Case (No. 4.). They present 
several peculiarities of form, and have therefore 
been separated into many groups. Some have 
the head Lyre-shaped, and the back and tail 
crested ( Gonyocephalus ), as, the Tiger Agama 
(Agama Tigrina ). 
Other species have the head armed with spines 
over the back of the ears, and the scales large 
and directed upwards ( Calotes ), as the Common 
Calotes ( Lacerta Calotes ), of a fine blue colour, 
and the Indian Calotes ( Agama Indica ). These 
animals lay fusiform eggs. 
The Bronchocelae differ from the Calotes, by 
the scales of the back being small and horizontal; 
as the Blue Calotes (Agama cristatella), and 
the Long-legged Calotes ( Agama vultuosa ) ; 
one species, the Armed Calotes( Agama armata ), 
has a square head, and long subulate spines 
over the eyes (. Acanthosaura ). 
The true Agamse (Agama), have often bundles 
of spines on the sides of the neck, as, the Oc¬ 
cipital Agama (Agama occipitalis ), the common 
Agama (Agama spinosa). The male of the 
Pondicherry Agama (Agama Pondiceriana ), has
