Iguana tuberculata, one of the large lizards native of South America. This animal forms an excellent object for the comparative study of the visceral and vascular anatomy of the abdomen. It possesses a well-differentiated intestinal tract, several coils of small intestine, a well-marked cæcum and large intestine. The examination of this or a similar reptilian form is to be highly recommended. Iguana is easily obtained in any of our large cities, as a considerable number of these animals are annually imported from Mexico and the South American states.
