a second edition of camden ' s description of scotland containing a supplement of these peers , or lords of parliament , who were mentioned in the first edition , and an account of these since raised to , and further advanced in the degrees of peerage , until the year 1694 .
camden , william , 1551 - 1623 . , dalrymple , james , sir , fl . 1714 .
a moun∣tain in the midst divideth , running on for∣ward from the west sea to the east .
empire , as who begin to be weary of wars , and to acquaint them∣selves with the delightful benefits of peace .
besides a number of islands lying round about . in the south part , these countries are more remarkable than the rest .
whereof a list shall be subjoyned as they now are , and in the order they stand in the rolls of parlia∣ment .
about the year 268 . did set out dioeceses for bishops : so the bishops of
the third , that is about the year of our redemption 1070 , at which time the dioeceses were confined with∣in their bounds and limits .
session of this current parliament , the estate of bishops being the third estate of parliament is abolished . by the fifth act of the second session , presbyterian church government was settled , and the no∣bility which did consist of the great barons or lords , or the lesser barons or free - holders , is divided in two estates ; so that by the third act of the second session of the same parlia∣ment , the three estates are declared to be the lords of parliament , designed the
and hath royal authority and jurisdiction over all the states and degrees , as well eccle∣siastical as lay or temporal .
that is , those who were enobled only by the office which they administred . for the word in the ancient english saxon tongue signifi∣eth ,
hath had dukes , marquesses , earls , viscounts , and barons . as for the title of duke , the first that brought it into
the third , a∣bout the year of salvation 1400 . likeas the honourable titles of marquess and viscount were first brought in by king
by taking of an oath , and are proclaimed by the pub∣lick voice of an herauld . in the year 1621 was instituted the hereditary order of knight baronet , for advancing the plantation of
with precedency of all ordina∣ry knights , lesser barons or lairds ; of which order there is a great number , but the anci∣ent great lairds , chiefs of clans or families , have not generally yielded precedency to them . of a second sort are they , who are termed
and hath the same very power as absolute . it consisteth of three states , of lords
to wit , dukes , marques∣ses , earls , viscounts , and barons : and com∣missioners for cities and burghs . unto whom were adjoyned not long since for every coun∣ty or shire also two commissioners . and by the 11th act of the second session of this current parliament , certain shires , and the stewartrie of
it is appointed and solemnly called by the king at his pleasure , at a certain set time , be∣fore it be holden . when these states above∣said are assembled , and the causes of their as∣sembly delivered by the king , his commissi∣oner , or chancellor , the lords
then the same all joyntly together nominat eight , of the commissioners for the counties , and as many of the commissioners for the free burghs regal , which make up in all the number of thirty two . and then
do admit or reject every bill proposed unto the states , after they have been first imparted unto the king , or his commissioner . being allowed by the whole assembly of the states , they are through∣ly weighed & examined , & such of them as pass by the greater number of voices , are exhibited unto the king , or his commissioner , who by touching them with the scepter , pronounceth , that he either ratifieth & approveth them , or disableth and maketh the same void· but if any thing dislike the king , it is razed out before .
to be chosen out of each estate by it self , for preparing all motions and over∣tures first made in the house , and that the parliament may alter the said committees at their pleasure , or conclude upon matters pro∣poned before them in plain parliament , with∣out committees , and that in the committes , some of the officers of state may be present by their majesties or their commissioners ap∣pointment , who is freely to propose and de∣bate allennerly , but not to vote . by act of par∣liament 1617 , the officers of state are re∣stricted to the number of eight , including the master of requests , beside the chancel∣lor , who by his office is president of the par∣liament . since the restauration of king
there hath been no master of requests , but frequently two secretaries ; and there hath been also debate amongst the lesser offi∣cers of state : and especially between the thesaurer - depute and the others , concerning their precedency ; but at present by order , the thesaurer - deput is ranked after the advo∣cat , and before the justice - clerk .
of the nine , which must be of the ordinar lords . the distinction of half
7 . there is allowed two persons to be conjoyned in each of the three offices of ordinary clerks of session , and so now six clerks , and as many advocats as the senators shall think good . these sit and minister justice , not according to the rigour of law , but with reason and equity , every day ( save only on the
in regard the office of the lords of session are for lifetime , they are set down as fol∣lows .
the president of the session by an act of parliament 1661 . is declared to have prece∣dency of the lord register and advocat , and they to have precedency of the lord thesaurer - deput .
amongst his majesties officers and counsellors , where the lesser officers of state are ranked , and after them the lords of session , according to their admission , and before privy counsellors being barons & gentlemen .
& frequently thereafter . all the space between sessions , being the times of sowing and har∣vest , is vacation and intermission of all suites and law matters . they give judgment accor∣ding to the parliament , statutes , and munici∣pal laws , and where they are defective , they have recourse to the imperial civil law .
from which courts or judges , in re∣gard of hard and unequal dealing , or else of alliance and partiality , they appeal some∣time to the session . these sheriffs are all for
also , to oblige more surely unto them the better sort of gentlemen by their benefits and favours , made in old time , these sheriffs hereditary and and perpetual . but the english kings soon perceiving the inconveniencies thereby ensu∣ing , of purpose changed this order , & appoint∣ed them from year to year . there be civil courts also in every regalitie , holden by their baillies , to whom the kings have graciously granted royalities : as also in free - burghs , by the magistrates thereof .
in which before four judges , or commissars ; actions are pleaded concerning wills & testaments , the right of ecclesiastical benefices , tithes , divorces , and such other ecclesiastical causes . in every other several part almost throughout the kingdom , there sitteth but one judge alone in a place about these matters .
exe∣cuted for some time , ) and he doth deput two or three lawers , who have the hearing and deciding of capital actions concerning life and death , or of such as infer loss of limbs , or of all goods . and by the 16
lord justice - general , the lord justice - clerk , who are both at the kings nomination , and to them are added five of the lords of session , who are supplied from time to time by the king , and are called lords of the justiciary . in this court the defendant is permitted , yea in case of high - treason , to entertain a counsellor or advocat to plead his cause .
moreover in criminal matters , there are sometimes by vertue of the kings commission and authority , justices appointed for the de∣ciding of this or that particular cause .
also the sheriffs in their territories , and magistrats in some burghs , may sit in judge∣ment of man - slaughter ( in case the man - slay∣er be taken within 24 hours after the deed committed ) and being found guilty by a ju∣rie , put him to death . but if that time be once over - past , the cause is referred and put over to the
or his deputs . the same priviledge also some of the nobility and gentry enjoy against theives taken within their own jurisdictions . there be likewise that have such royalities , as that in criminal causes they may exercise a jurisdiction with∣in their own limits , and in some cases recal those that dwell within their own limits and liberties from the kings justice , howbeit with a caution and proviso interposed ,

mean time before we proceed to the de∣scription of particular places , according to the authors project , we must give some short account of the privy council , thesaury and exchequer , being soveraign courts , and omitted by the author . the privy council is constitute by the king ' s commission to decide in matters that concerns the government and publick peace of the nation , wherein the chancellor by his office doth preside , and af∣ter him the president of the council , who hath the same precedency as in
the persons are chiefly named out of the nobility , with the addition of some barons . in the thesaury and exchequer , the lord high the∣saurer doth preceed , but this office is frequent∣ly in commission , as it is at present , and then the lord chancellor is , and uses to be one and chief of the commission , as also the lord
thesaurer deput , and they together with the lords of exchequer nominat by their majesties do order , determine , and dispose of the kings rents , revenues , gifts , and casualities : i have omitted particular lists of them , in regard the commissions to the council , thesaury and exchequer are some times changed , as the king doth think fit ; and that the persons employed in them are emi∣nent , of whom occasion will be to make men∣tion in some part of this treatise , either as noblemen , sheriffs of , or commissioners from shires , or otherwise .

what the meaning should be of these terms let others guess . in the reign of king
dun∣bar ; and when as he proved by good evi∣dences and writings brought forth , that his father had been pardoned for that fault by the regents of the kingdom , he was answe∣red again , that it was not in the regents power to pardon on offence against the state ; and that it was expresly provided by the laws , that children should undergo punishment for their fathers transgressions , to the end that being thus heirs to their fathers rash∣ness , as they are to their goods and lands , they should not at any time in the haughty pride of their own power , plot any treason against prince or countrey . this title of earl of

both the male and female rhinoceros chameleon possess a dorsal crest . this is only present on the front half of the body , and , together with the lower casque , helps distinguish the male rhinoceros chameleon from the closely related furcifer antimena and furcifer labordi . the female rhinoceros chameleon can also be differentiated from these two species by the absence of a white line down the middle of the belly ( 2 ) .

the rhinoceros chameleon , scientifically named furcifer rhinoceratus is one of the most distinctive of the genus furcifer . it’s named for its prominent scaly horn - like nose (
the rhinoceros chameleon is endemic to the dry deciduous forest region of western madagascar , although its exact distribution within this region is poorly understood ( 2 ) ( 4 ) .
little information is available on the reproductive behaviour of the rhinoceros chameleon . clutches of 4 to 11 eggs have been reported in captivity , with hatching occurring after 291 days , and the newly hatched rhinoceros chameleons weighing between 0 . 38 and 0 . 44 grams ( 2 ) .
rhinoceros chameleons are found in forests on the island of madagascar and are considered vulnerable to extinction due to habitat loss .
the rhinoceros chameleon inhabits dry deciduous forest ( 4 ) . little information is available on its precise habitat requirements , but it is reported to be commonly seen along roads and paths , as well as inhabiting the forest interior ( 2 ) .
this chameleon inhabits dry deciduous forest ( ramanamanjato and rabibisoa 2002 ) . it is not clear to what degree this species can survive in degraded habitats .

like many madagascan chameleons , the rhinoceros chameleon is threatened by habitat loss in the form of rapid deforestation ( 5 ) ( 6 ) . significant portions of forest habitat have already been cleared , and the remaining areas are often highly fragmented , as well as being critically threatened by logging , uncontrolled burning , and clearing for grazing and agriculture ( 4 ) .

the name
chameleon
is derived from the greek words chamai ( on the ground , on the earth ) and leon ( lion ) so their name means
earth lion .
the meller ' s chameleon is the largest of the chameleons not native to madagascar . their stout bodies can grow to be up to two feet long and weigh more than a pound .
) . contrary to popular belief , a chameleon typically does not change colors to match its surroundings . instead , color is usually used to convey emotions , defend territories , and communicate with mates .
male cryptic or blue - legged chameleon ( calumma crypticum ) rests on a branch in the wilds of madagascar ( rain forest of ranomafana ) . incredible vibrant colors at night while sleeping . foliage , tree .
meller ' s distinguish themselves from their universally bizarre - looking cousins with a single small horn protruding from the front of their snouts . this and their size earn them the common name
giant one - horned chameleon .
the male rhinoceros chameleon is greyish or brownish in colour , with dark brown or black between the scales , and a white line down the flanks . the lips are also white , and the horn is often a bluish colour . although usually similar in colouration to the male , the female changes dramatically when carrying eggs ( gravid ) . in this state , the female turns an overall neon - purple colour , with black bands on the body , extending onto the tail , which is orange or red ( 2 ) .
this species is typically larger than a jackson chameleon . they also have a large casque ( sharkfin - like shield ) on their head , as compared to the three horns of a male jackson . this species is also a pest !

have a large casque ( sharkfin - like shield ) on their head ( note that the jackson’s chameleon , c . jacksonii , is a similar and more common alien species in hawaii , although male jackson’s have three horns on their forehead ) . have a fringe running from its mouth under its body .
other easily noted characteristics of chameleons include bulging eyes that move independently of one another , feet fixed in a grasping position , and the existence of horns or crests on the heads of many species . additionally , arboreal species have prehensile tails used for grasping objects when climbing and moving . finally , some species have long extensile tongues for catching insects or small vertebrates at a distance sometimes greater than the length of the chameleon .

thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the iucn red list of threatened species website , we are grateful for your input .
f . monoceras is considered a junior synonymn of f . rhinoceratus ( glaw and vences 2007 ) .
this species is uncommon . due to heavy human pressures on and the patchy distribution of remaining forest within its range , the population is likely to be both declining and severely fragmented .
this species was traded in small levels before the 1994 suspension on exports from madagascar . it is not currently reported illegally in international trade .
threats in the region include bush fires , cattle grazing , and deforestation for charcoal collection .
this species occurs in parc national ankarafantsika . this site needs to be managed to limit the intrusion of damaging human activities . research is needed to establish the extent of this species ' distribution in the west of its range , from which modern records are lacking , and to clarify the degree to which this species is able to tolerate habitat degradation and modification .
to make use of this information , please check the < terms of use > .
many madagascan chameleons have also been heavily collected for the pet trade ( 6 ) . however , there are very few records of successful captive breeding of this species , and it is not reported to have been heavily exported in the past ( 2 ) .
however , very little is known about the ecology or conservation needs of this species , and it may therefore benefit from further research before any specific conservation measures , if necessary , can be put into place .

archaic words have a charm that never fades away , from french sounding to wondrously mysterious ones .
these strange looking chameleons grow up to 27 cm long , with the males growing twice as big as the females .
the horns that give them their name are bigger in the males and they use them to fight with each other .
they spend most of their time in trees where they catch insects using their long tongues .
at breeding time , the females lay 4 - 11 eggs , which take almost a year to hatch .

jackson’s chameleons are a popular pet that can escape the cage and establish feral populations in hawaiʻi . they are bright emerald green fading to a yellowish color on their undersides . males are generally 10 - 12” long with a long , prehensile tail accounting for half of their length , and with three horns protruding from their forehead . females are generally a little shorter and never grow horns . jackson’s chameleons are solitary creatures which spend most of their time in trees . chameleons move with a distinctive slow rocking motion .
chameleons’ ability to thrive in a variety of forest environments where they are yet another predator of hawaiʻi’s native insects , spiders , and snails , making them a less welcome guest in hawaiʻi . chameleons are also a potential prey base for the brown tree snake and other snakes , which increases the likelihood of this alien species establishing populations if ever introduced .
introduced from kenya and tanzania to hawaiʻi in 1972 , this popular pet was inte ntionally released in kāneʻohe and now has established free ranging populations on the islands of hawaiʻi , maui , and oʻahu . they have not become established on kauaʻi - report any sightings on kauaʻi !

madagascar is home to about half the world ' s 150 or so species of chameleons , including both subfamilies , typical chameleons ( chamaeleoninae ) and dwarf chameleons ( brookesiinae ) .
chameleons are diurnal , solitary , and often aggressive towards members of their own species ( marked by rapid color change and aggressive posturing ) . they are opportunistic hunters that wait for prey to pass within range of their long tongues . chameleons have a bizarre way of moving in which they slowly rock back and forth between each step taken , often in time with the movement of nearby leaves being blown by the wind . most chameleons lay eggs .
this portable guide offers a full survey of all madagascar ' s mammals , both endemic and introduced , including many newly identified species . with vivid color photographs , line illustrations , and maps , mammals of madagascar : a complete guide

this reptile ' s tongue is as long as its body ( up to 55 cm ) . its tip is muscular and sticky . it projects it at an average speed of 21km / hr !
it only takes a few seconds for its color to change . the color varies according to stress , fear , light , etc . it can ' t imitate a complex design such as a flowery carpet or a checkerboard .
its eyes pivot independently from each other , allowing it to look in two opposite directions at the same time . it can therefore keep watch and capture its prey with 99 % precision .
being very territorial , it does not tolerate any same sex individuals closer than two meters . facing an adversary , it can inflate its body and open its mouth while hissing and growling . it can inflict painful bites when fighting .
a popular pet , over 15 , 000 individuals were captured annually in nature . since 1999 , this number has been restricted to 2 , 000 , but logging and agricultural exploitation are fragmenting and rarefying its habitat .

i had an amazing time here with my family ! my kids absolutely loved it . amazing experience : )
we love going to the zoo . ( … ) most of the animals were out and the grandkids were thrilled . i ' d never been to the dinozoo before and i thought it was pretty cool especially with the movement and sounds . the design is great in that it ' s seperated and all goes back to the center .
first time visiting here on our annual summer week in québec . we went for the 2 day family pass , and had an amazing time . the 2 days allowed us to take our time around the park , and gave plenty of time as well for cooling off at the amazoo . we ' ll definitely come back !
