Editing Frilled lizard (section)

==Taxonomy==
British zoologist [[John Edward Gray]] described the frilled lizard in 1825 as ''Clamydosaurus kingii''. He used a specimen collected by botanist [[Allan Cunningham (botanist)|Allan Cunningham]] at [[Careening Bay]], off north-western Australia, while part of an expedition conducted by Captain [[Phillip Parker King]] in {{HMS|Mermaid|1817|6}}.<ref name="upside down">{{cite book|last=Olsen|first=Penny|author-link=Penny Olsen|year=2010|title=Upside Down World: Early European Impressions of Australia's Curious Animals|publisher=National Library of Australia|page=196|isbn=978-0-642-27706-0}}</ref><ref name="Kent1897">{{cite book|last=Kent|first=William Saville|author-link=William Saville Kent|title=The Naturalist in Australia|url=https://archive.org/details/cu31924102032772|year=2017|publisher=Chapman & Hall|pages=[https://archive.org/details/cu31924102032772/page/n117 70]–73|isbn=978-3-337-31163-6|orig-year=1897}}</ref> The generic name, ''Chlamydosaurus'', is derived from the [[Ancient Greek]] ''chlamydo'' (χλαμύς), meaning "cloaked" or "mantled", and [[Latin]] ''saurus'' (''sauros''), meaning "lizard".<ref>{{cite book|author1=Guyot, Arnold|author1-link=Arnold Henry Guyot|author2=Barnard, Frederick Augustus Porter|author2-link=Frederick Augustus Porter Barnard|display-authors=etal|year=1890|title=Johnson's Univeral Cyclopædia A Scientific and Popular Treasury of Useful Knowledge · Volume 2|page=64|location=New York|publisher=A.
