Confined to the Ethiopian region. Anomalwus,^ with several species from West and Central Africa, alone represents the family. The peculiar caudal scales, which evidently assist the animal in climbing, and the position of the cartilaginous support of the parachute, are weU shown in Fig. 197. All the species but two are from Western Africa ; A. arientalis occurs near Zanzibar, and A. pusillus is from the equatorial regions of that 1 Waterhouse, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1842, p. 124. 29.
