Birds of other lands, reptiles, fishes, jointed animals and lower forms; . l frequentlyhalt and retire discomfited when confronted with a frilled lizard at bay with its frill brilliant colour of this frill, more especially in the male, adds very considerably to theformidable appearance of this lizard. While the body of this lizard is usually of a lightbrown colour, with more or less distinct darker transverse bars and reticulations, the frill-likemembrane has a ground-colour in which orange and chrome-yellow chiefly predominate, andupon which are superimposed splashings and speckles of brilliant scarlet. While the totallength of this averages 2 feet, the expanded frill in adult males is not infrequently asmuch as 8 or 9 inches in diameter. The peculiar, grotesquely human aspect presentedby the frilled lizard when running on its hind legs only will be appreciated on referenceto the accompanying photographs. This erect attitude is only assumed when the frilledlizard is traversing more or less considerable distances and moving on level ground. Under.
