Lovely engraving of the Helmeted Basilisk.
'The strange form of the members of the present genus of iguanoids probably suggested to the earlier naturalists the imposition of the name basilisk - a term which originally denoted a faboulous snake-like reptile before whose deadly glance every living being save the cock perished. Be this as it may, the basilisk are large, perfectly harmless members of the iguana family.'
