English: Africa produceth the Chameleon, yet is it more frequent in India: hee is in fhape and greatnefs like a Lizard, but that his legs are ftraight and higher, his fides are joined to the bellie as in fifh, and his back ftand's up after the fame manner, his nofe ftand's out not much unlike a fwine's, his tail is long, and endeth fharp, and hee fould's it up in a round, like ferpent, his nails are crooked, his pace flow like as the Tortoif, his bodie rough, hee never shut's his eies, neither doth hee look about by the mooving of the apple, but by the turning of the whole eie. The nature of his color is wonderful, for hee changeth it now and then in his eies and tail, and the whole bodie befide; ... Mathiolus write's that the right eie taken from a living Chameleon take's away the white fpots which are about the thornie coat of the eie; his bodie being beaten, and mixed with Goat's milk, and rubbed upon anie part, fetcheth off hairs; his galls difcuffeth the Cataracts of the eie.
