Geckotian

The Geckotians, is composed of nocturnal lizards, so much resembling each other that they might be left in one genus.

It proved to be nothing more that a lizard of the geckotian family, hideously ugly, but, in common with all of his kind, perfectly harmless.

Other saurians have folds of skin along the flanks; but in no other of them is this disposition so developed as in a curious geckotian, the Ptychozoon homacephalum of Java and other Sunda Islands.
