Flying lizard
This is a brief natural history note by N. B. Dennys, published in the Journal of the Straits Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society (Vol. 9, 1882), describing the flying lizard (Draco volens) as found in Singapore (p. 162).
Summary
Dennys provides a short account of Draco volens, noting that it abounds in Singapore and is capable of a considerable length of flight. He describes the eggs as tiny, about the size of peas, and remarks that he never succeeded in obtaining an embryo or seeing a newly-hatched specimen (p. 162).
He adds a general observation that no species of lizard is in any sense poisonous and that very few possess teeth developed enough to inflict a wound, and notes that spiders are great enemies of lizards, typically catching them asleep and weaving a web around the mouth before biting the lip (p. 163). The note closes with an invitation for readers to keep the animal in confinement and furnish further information.
