Text Appearing Before Image:
It is thicker and rather more clumsv thanthe last species, and the limbs are stouter andstronger, and it is less graceful and vivacious in itsmovements. There are other and more minutepoints of difference, but these are of interest ratherto the zoologist than to the general reader. It may 32 OUR REPTILES. be observed, however, that in this species there areto be found, in addition to the ordinary teeth at themargin of the upper and the lower jaws, also a fewvery small ones seated on the back part of thepalate, and which are wanting in the common lizard.Professor Bell states on the faith of a gentlemanof his acquaintance, that the brown varieties areconfined to sandy heaths, the colours of which areclosely imitated by the surface of the body, andthat the green variety frequents the more verdantlocalities. This, he adds, he had not been in aposition either to refute or confirm, and could onlyvouch for the existence of two such varieties, at acomparatively short distance from each other.
