Excerpt from University of California Publications in Zoology, Vol. 9: December 16, 1911 The southwestern part of the United States, with its warm, dry climate and great deserts, affords most favorable conditions for many of our reptiles. Among the Lacertilia to be found in this locality, no group is so unique and specialized as the genus Phrynosoma. The members of this genus are easily distinguished from the other lizards by their ¿at, oval bodies, covered with keeled, spiny scales, and by their circlet of horns upon the head. Their round pupils, numerous series of ventral scales not abruptly smaller than the laterals, notched tongue and femoral pores, place this genus among the Iguanidae. The presence of horns, however, widely separates the genus from the remainder of this family. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
