318 NATURE MAGAZINE FOR MAY 1931 bull alligator. Assisted by the wild grandeur of the locale, at eventide, it brings to one's mind the awe-inspiring scenes of half a million years ago when the 'gator was only one member of a large tribe of gigantic sau- rians that are now only unpronounceable names. Failure to conserve this, the last of that group, is most reprehensible, yet it is difficult to impress this fact on the minds of planters who lose an occasional hog. LYNWOOD M. CHACE ALL SMALL BOYS KNOW HIM The beautifully marked box turtle, a fortress in itself, is a Carolina denizen and totally herbivorous. As in the case of most tortoises, this chelonian is gifted with more intelligence than its turtle relatives and can be made an interesting and thoroughly satisfactory pet. Among the saurians, the alligator still dwells in the Low Country, and frequently can be seen in the lagoons, rivers and ricefield canals, the last representative of a race once powerful but now slowly becoming extinct. In recent years, skin-hunters have plied their trade in our waters without any protest from local authorities and it is only a question of time before this species will be reduced to time-blackened specimens in museums. There is no more impressive note in the world than the roar of a L. W. BROWNELL THE RED HEADED LIZARD POSES It is most unusual to find him still lo a photograph. He grows largest in COTTONMOUTH SHOWS HIS FANGS He often disputes the path with man, and strikes without warning Chief amongst the seven species of smaller saurians prevalent here is the American chameleon, appropriately named Anolis carolinensis, since it is extremely common everywhere in the coastal region of Carolina. More erroneous information is held regarding the color changes of this reptile than concerning snakes, which is saying a great deal; the fact is that the color changes are no more influenced by the creatures' surroundings than they are by the nebular hypothesis. The red-headed lizard, known locally as the "scorpion," attains in this section of the country its largest size, and undergoes its most complete color changes. Owing to its extreme timidity and the quickness with which it flashes from view, less is known here of the habits of this saurian than of any of the others. Raymond L. Ditmars, one of the world's greatest authorities on reptiles, speaks in his valuable work, The Reptile Book, of the difficulties encountered in capturing this species for purposes of observation. It is in the realms of the snake order, however, that the Carolinas are a veritable happy hunting ground for students of reptiles. From the lordly diamond-backed rattlesnake to the tiny worm-snake, more than forty-two species are found in these two states. Among the venomous varieties, the pit- vipers are represented by the diamond-backed and timber rattlers, the copperhead, the W. BROWN I ng enough for the Carolinas

Several articles on the Carolinas appear in this 1931 issue of Nature Magazine. The magazine was collected by George Masa. Born Masahara Iizuka and raised in Japan, George Masa (1881-1933) emigrated to the U.S. when he was 20 years old and, in 1915, came to Asheville, where he lived the rest of his life. Masa was active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
