It eats not only blossoms, leaves, and insects, but also young borned toad.s, and all sorts of smaller lizards, killing and swallowing some two-thirds HEiD OF COLLARED LIZARD, SLIGHTLY ENLARGED. its own size. It will even kill and devour smaller individuals of its own siiecies. This lizard is remarkable for the fact that not the male, as is usual among lizards, but the female, undergoes a change of color in the breeding season (mid- summer), becoming salmon-red on the whole abdominal region.

COLLATERAL ( Fr. collateral, It. collate- rale, from ML. collateralis, collateral, from JVIL. con-, together + lateralis, relating to a side, from latus. side). In law. supplemental or re- lated to the principal thing in consideration, especially: (a) Given by way of security in addition to a principal obligation, (b) Descend- ed from a common ancestor but not from one another — a sense used to describe the character of relationship of individuals for legal purposes. Collateral Seciiriti/ is either: (a) Something of intrinsic value actually delivered over and pledged to the creditor, the value of which is to be applied on the debt in case of default; or (b) an additional obligation, given to guarantee performance of a debt or duty. The term is more frequently used to designate a pledge of stocks, bonds, "negotiable paper, or other evi- dences of obligation, as distinguished from a pledge of chattels. The practice in case of a default is for the creditor, upon notice to the debtor, to sell the securities and apply the amoimt received therefrom toward the satisfac- tion of his claim and cliarge the debtor with the deficiency, or credit him with the surplus, if any. See Mortgage; Pledge; Foreclosure; ond consult the authorities cited under Pledge. Collateral Relatires, more frequently spoken ■of as 'collaterals,' are those who are descended from the same common ancestor, but not from one another, as lineal descendants are. Thus, an uncle is a collateral relative of a nephew, both ibeing descended from a common ancestor, but the nephew not being a lineal descendant of the uncle. The term includes those in the relation- ship of brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, nephews and nieces, and cousins. Collateral rel- atives are included in the term heir, real prop- erty descending in the first instance to lineal descendants, if any. and then to collaterals in the order of their relationship or as prescribed by statutes. See Con.sanguinitt; Descendant: Heir; Lineal; Decedent; and consult the au- thorities referred to under Descent, etc. COLLATERAL INHERITANCE TAX. See Inheritance Tax. COLLATERAL WARRANTY. See War- ranty. COLLATION (OF. collacion, from Lat. col- latio, collection, from con-, together + latus, borne, connected with tolerare, Gk. Tyvai, tlenai, OHG. dulten, Ger. dulden, to endure). In law, a collecting or bringing together of all the assets of an estate into one common fund for distribu- tion among the heirs or next of kin; a term more particularly used where heirs who have re- ceived property from the deceased ancestor by way of advancement return it to the estate in order that a more equitable division of the whole may be made. The term is used in the civil law, and in England it is called hotchpot (q.v.). The term is not in general use in the United States, but the law in most States provides that advancements made to an heir shall be consid- ered as a part of the decedent's estate in order to determine whether such heir shall receive any- thing further. See Adv.^ncement. In English ecclesiastical law the term collation is used to denote the presentation of a clerg}^nan to a benefice by the patron and bishop. See Benefice. In maritime law collation is used in the sense of contribution or average (q.v.). COLLATION OF MANUSCRIPTS. See Bible, Textual Criticism. COLLE, kol'la', Charles (1709-83). A Frenclx dramatic author and song-writer, born in Paris. He became the secretary of the Duke of Orleans, the grandfather of Louis Philippe, and wrote plays for the theatre of the Palais Royal, and for the Comedie Francaise, of which several are still produced. 'Soldat de fortime dans les lettres,' as he has been called, he de- clined to become a member of the Academy, though his songs have made him famous in Frencli literature. His plays have been collected under the title Theatre de societe, and his verses as Les chansons de Colle. His interesting Joxir- nal historique was edited by Barbier (Paris, 1807), and his Correspondance in6dite by Bon- homme (Paris, 1864). COLLE, kul'la. Raffaello d.4.l (c.1490-1530), usually called R.^ffaellino. An Italian painter, born at Colle, near Borgo San Sepolcro (Tus- cany). He was a pupil of Raphael, and after- wards worked with Giulio Romano. He was employed by Raphael to assist in painting the Loggie of tiie Vatican, and portions of the story of Jloses are from his brush. After his master's death he worked with Giulio Romano in Rome, and in the Piazza del Te at Mantua. Still later he assisted Bronzino and Vasari in various deco- rative schemes. He opened a bottega in Borgo, San Sepolcro, and several of his scholars became fair artists, but none rivaled 'little Raphael.' He painted in the manner of his master, but was not a servile imitator. His style is pure, his figures very noble, and he manages drapery in that grand way characteristic of the Roman, School. In general it may be said that no other painter carried on the traditions of that school so successfully as Colle. His principal works are "The Resurrection." in the Church of San Roeco, Borgo San Sepolcro; the same sub- ject in the cathedral ; the beautiful "Assump- tion" in the Church of the Conventuali; an "Annunciation." in San Francisco at Cagli; "Twelve Apostles," in the cathedral at Urbino (very Raphaelesque) : and several works in the chapel of the Olivet monks at Gubbio.
