zoo Is GIVEN LIZARDS.

New York. Sept IA pair of
dragon lizards from Veracruz, said by
scientists to be the lineal descendants
of Dinosaurs, the giant lizard of pre-
historic days, have arrived at the
Bronx Zoo. The lizards are very
rare.
They are about two feet in length
of ferocious appearance, although
harmless and stand and run on their
hind legs, dragging thier tails along.
They can run faster than any other
lizard.
They are brown with white stripes.
On their heads are brown combs sim
liar to the comb of a rooster.
The hind leg habit is the distin-
gushing habit witch leads scientists
to believe that they descend from the
Dinosaurs.
There is little doubt that these
are the only known lineal descend
ants of the Dinosaurs, said Ray
mond L. Ditmars, curator of the rep
tile house.
''Of course the Dinosaurs of the
old days grew to enormous size. Some
of them were fifty feet tall. They
walked on their hind legs as the drag
on lizard does and their petrified re-
mains dug up in recent years in va
rious parts of the world show the
same general structural characteristics
as the dragon lizards.
They are found only in Mexico.
but their range may have been much
larger years ago. They are not pois-
onous and are very timid in spite of
their vicious appearance.
