TEARS OF BLOODSHED BY LIZARDS

Scientist Reveals Traits of SoCalled Horned Toad of

California

Ability to Bore to FreedomThrough Reptile's Side

Demonstrated

[Special Dispatch to The Call] |BERKELEY, Dec. IS.—A creature!

which, weeps tears of. blood and which, :

when swallowed alive by a rattle-snake, can bore its way to life andfreedom through the reptile's side, isdescribed by Dr. Harold Childs Bryant

of the University of California in a

remarkable treatise on the horned toador lizard found in California and Ne-vada,

The paper was Issued today fromthe Univ3rsity Press. It is declaredby the university authorities to bethe most comprehensive study of thehorned lizard ever written, and it hasmade a change in classification of onespecies of the animal, which is highlyimportant to zoologists.

The rcclassification by Bryant con-sists In taking a species out of thegenus Phrynosoma and referring it tothe genus Anota. His reason wassupplied by a peculiarity of skull ofihe«species, which, he ascertained, dif-fers from others in that its horns areprocesses of the epidermis or outer :cuticle. This species annually sloughs

the hory part of his skin, a fact hith-erto unknown.FOUND IN" MANY STATES

Bryant has studied the horned lizardfor several years. Me tells that thecreature is found in Mexico, Califor-nia, .Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, NewMexico, Arizona, Utah, Washington,Oregon, the great plains and the Rockymountains. Twenty recognized speciesare in the southwestern part of NorthAmerica. Not only scientists, but trav-elers and explorers have wondered atthe odd creature. Calvigero in his"Storio del Messico," is one earlywriter who told of the horned lizards.3cscribing a Mexican form.

Among the eifrious phases of the sub-ject which Bryant details is the pe-ruliar habit of the creature in eject-Ing blood from its eyes, a "commontrait, but an unexplained one. He hasalso confirmed the Indian tradition,that \u25a0 the horned lizard could escapefrom, the stomach of the rattler. Bryanttells of snakes' being found with theheads of horned toads projectingthrough the body wall, ,or with thehorns caught in the throat of theserpent.

Another peculiarity of the hornedlizard is that it can be hypnotized, andthat it plays possum admirably. Hewrites:CLEVER AT "'POSSUM"

"A peculiar habit of 'playing 'pos-sum' is often seen, the lizard remainingperfectly still as if dead, but dartingaway at the first opportunity for escape.An interesting reaction is seen in thehypnotic effect produced by rubbing: theanimal on top of the head and betweenthe eyes. Under such treatment thelizard turns its head down, closes itseyes and apparently goes into a hyp-notic stupor. Pinching it with tweezersor placing it on its back, a treatment ithighly resents in the normal state, failsto awaken it. In some cases specimensremain in such a stupor for five or ten \u25a0

minutes. Ttw first sign of awakeningis usually evidenced by the slow open-ing of the eyes.' This habit may be'playing "possum,* but.it is ; probablymore in the nature of hypnosis such asis produced on'birds when held for atime on their backs. This phenomenonoffers a field for further study." ~;

: .Protective coloration-—a phenomenon

of the animal realm oh which TheodoreRoosevelt and other naturalists havewritten extensively—is dealt with byBryant as displayed by the horned toad.Bryant writes that these animals actu-ally change color, chameleonlike, butthat the change is slow, requiring from24 to 48 hours. It is brought about by atransfer of pigment outward or inwardthrough the branches of the melano-phores or color centers. A complex ner-vous mechanism governs the change.With regard to defense, Bryant assertsthat the horned lizards depend almostentirely on frightening their enemies,the most menacing of which are theroadrunner and the rattlesnake.BURROWS UNDERGROUND

In winter the horned toad hibernatesin rodent holes or burrows under theground. Some species, he says, lay eggs,while others bring forth the : young

alive. The eggs are deposited in sandin numbers from six to 14, and requirea few hours or several days for hatch-ing, depending on the species. They arefrom 15 to 20 millimeters in length, andcovered with a tough, semitransparentmembrane.-. " -

For food the creatures have insects.Of the iVa-ture of protective colorationRryant contributes this to what isknown of the subject as demonstratedin horned toads:

"The group presents a very remark-able example of protective coloration,

horned toads found in the blacklava belt Vicing almost black, whilethose from the white sand of the desertare very light in color. The circlet ofhorns about the head is of great valuein protecting the animal."

The author of the paper is a gradu-

ated student in zoology at the univer-sity.
