Lizard. which Walk rr.c,.

When drawing attention about n year
ago to the blpedal movements Of GER
tain Australian lizards, notably the
comical little chlamydosaurus or
''frilled lizard" whose photograph is
now familiar, MIR. Sayille-Kent re-
fcrred TO an unconfirmed rumor that
the Mexican iguanoid lizard also pos
sesscs the power Of running on its
hind legs. being led to this by the cor
rcspondcncc In general structure of the
creatures, especially the abnormal
length OF the hind limbs. He publishes
letter from n gentleman living In the
West indies which shows that there
also all the lizards, from the large
tree iguana, five feet long, down TO the
tlnlcst mites which scampcr about
among the stones, are accustomed To
run erect on their hind legs when hur-
ricd. The correspondent adds the In
tercsting information that ON the rocks
about the watershed Of the Guiana are
old drawings of lizards running erect.
Mr. Savillc-Kent points out that this
pecullarlty, which year ago wns
doubted by many naturallsts, but
which has now been shown 10 be com
mon to SO many different species OF
lizards. deserves attention as pointing
