Gray, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. Aniella nigra. Fisher, Abh. Nat. Verein Hamburg (Var.) BY PROF. J. J. Fig. 4. Silvery Footless Lizard. (-A, Natural Size) An anatomical digest of the relationship of Aniella to other lyacertians is to be found in the U. S. Natural Museum Reports, Vol. 17, page 345, by Dr. Baur. This lizard inhabits the sand dunes from Marin county to San Diego, Cal. Its food consists of larvae of insects, its time of activity is during the night when many species in the larval form are seeking their vegetable food.
