PREFACE (partial):

"Lizards are cold-blooded vertebrates that are placed in the class Reptilia (reptiles). The classification of lizards is detailed further by their inclusion in the order Squamata; snakes also belong to this order. Sauria, a suborder, is reserved exclusively for lizards and compromises some 19 families. Within these 19 families are approximately 300 genera of lizards that collectively contain somewhere around 3000 species plus hundreds of addtional subspecies.

The natural distribution of lizard species is almost worldwide. They are most plentiful in warm climates, although one species, Lacerta vivipara, is known to be indigenous as far north as just within the Artic Circle.

The scientific names of lizards are printed in italic type, with the genus first (with an initial capital letter) and the species name second." ###
