Abstract
MY correspondent, Mr. H. Prestoe, has taken the trouble to examine the collections at the Natural History Museum, and by so doing has identified the bipedally-running Diamond Lizard of Trinidad, referred to in my last week's communication, with the Ameiva surinamensis of Gray. This identification is of additional interest, since it associates the faculty and habit of bipedal locomotion with yet a third family group of the lizard tribe, namely, that of the Teiidæ.
