exception that it has an extraordinary
protuberance on both sides of the body.
These are the wings, which are formed
by a cutaneous flap, winglike in shape,
supported by a series of false ribs. In
color these flying lizards are blue and
gray, with intermediate tints of various
kinds and shades.
The tail is long, slender and very
snaky in appearance. A large double
pouch extending below the head adds to
the ferocious aspect Of the little rainbow
colored brute. The wings are not true
wings, strictly SO called. but are used
merely as parachutes. When the lizard
leaps from the limb of tree into the air
the upper current brings them out, and
enables the possessor to soar away at an
angle to greater or lesser distance, ac-
cording to the height of the starting
point.
The lizard can change its direction
while in the cir, a power not possessed
by our flying squirrels. Hence the
casual observer might readily believe
that they had the power of moving the
winglike appendages, which would, in
that case, be true flight. Soaring is,
however, the limit of their power, the
height Of the starting point regulating
the distance travelled in the soaring
fight, which is quite frequently several
hundred yards, an aerial exhibition
which strikes terror to the heart Of q
stranger wandering for the first time in
the jungles a the antipodean wilds.
