LAC ERTILIA. Rept. 9 
[Boulenger, G. A.] Remarks on the Geographical Distribution of the 
Lacertilia. Ann. N. H. (5) xvi. pp. 77-85. 
Lizards in their geographical distribution differ widely from Batrachians 
and Fishes, and, if a division of the world had to be framed according to 
the lizard faunas, the primary divisions would be the following :— 
I. Palceogecin Realm (Sclater).—Two regions : 1, Occidental (= Palae- 
arotic Region, excl. the Manchurian subregion, -f- Ethiopian Region 
of Wallace) ; 2, Oriental (= Oriental -f Australian Regions of 
Wallace). 
II. Neogean Realm (Sclater).—Nearctic -j- Neotropical Regions.
