EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 8: Rusty Desert Monitor (Varanus eremius) and Pygmy Mulga Monitor (Varanus gilleri) This illustration, taken from Plate 8 of the "Report of the Horn Expedition to Central Australia" published in 1896, showcases two remarkable reptiles native to the arid lands of Australia - the Rusty Desert Monitor (Varanus eremius) and the Pygmy Mulga Monitor (Varanus gilleri). The Rusty Desert Monitor, also known as the Rusty Monitor or the Rusty Sand Goanna, is a medium-sized lizard with a distinctive orange-brown coloration. Its body is covered in small, overlapping scales, and its head is adorned with a crest of larger, keeled scales. This monitor is well-adapted to the harsh desert environment, with the ability to store large amounts of water in its bladder and go for extended periods without food or water. The Pygmy Mulga Monitor, on the other hand, is a much smaller monitor, with a maximum length of around 30 centimeters. It is characterized by its brown, mottled coloration and its elongated, slender body. This monitor is found in the arid regions of central and western Australia, where it inhabits the shrublands and sandy deserts. Both of these monitors belong to the order Squamata, which includes all lizards and snakes. They are further classified as diapsids, a subgroup of reptiles characterized by two openings in the skull for the carotid arteries. The monitors are part of the suborder Lepidosauria, which includes all scaled reptiles, and the infraorder Anguimorpha, which includes monitors and other related lizards. The intricate details of this illustration provide a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of these two unique Australian reptiles, capturing their essence and showcasing their distinctive features. The plate serves as a testament to the rich biodiversity of the Australian desert and the importance of scientific exploration in documenting and understanding the natural world.
