From the journal: Records of the South Australian Museum, volume 1, no. 3 (June 20, 1920). This is the author's most extensive work on reptiles. It is based on lizards collected on various expeditions into the interior of Australia. This important monograph lists 267 species of lizards grouped into 45 genera; however, this is only a small proportion of the diversity known to inhabit the continent today (after Adler, volume 3, p. 166).
