Abstract
I HAVE recently observed bipedal locomotion (p. 551) in the case of Calotes versicolor similar circumstances to those noted by Mr. Ernest Green, and have reason to believe that it also occurs in the case of several other Agamoid lizards that I have watched in the Malay Peninsula, though their movements are too rapid to admit of certainty. Liolepis bellii, however, certainly uses all four legs when in rapid motion, holding its tail in the air.
