The Battle of Raymond was fought on May 12, 1863, near Raymond, Mississippi, during the Vicksburg campaign of the American Civil War. Initial Union attempts to capture the strategically important Mississippi River city of Vicksburg failed. Beginning in late April 1863, Union Major General Ulysses S. Grant led another try. After crossing the river into Mississippi and winning the Battle of Port Gibson, Grant began moving east, intending to turn back west and attack Vicksburg. A portion of Grant's army consisting of Major General James B. McPherson's 10,000 to 12,000-man XVII Corps moved northeast towards Raymond. The Confederate commander of Vicksburg, Lieutenant General John C. Pemberton, ordered Brigadier General John Gregg and his 3,000 to 4,000-strong brigade from Jackson to Raymond.

Gregg's brigade contacted the leading elements of McPherson's corps on May 12. Neither commander was aware of the strength of his opponent, and Gregg acted aggressively, thinking McPherson's force was small enough that his men could easily defeat it. McPherson, in turn, overestimated Confederate strength and responded cautiously. The early portions of the battle pitted two brigades of Major General John A. Logan's division against the Confederate force, and the battle was matched relatively evenly. Eventually, McPherson brought up Brigadier General John D. Stevenson's brigade and Brigadier General Marcellus M. Crocker's division. The weight of superior Union numbers eventually began to crack the Confederate line, and Gregg decided to disengage. McPherson's men did not immediately pursue.

The battle at Raymond changed Grant's plans for the Vicksburg campaign, leading him to first focus on neutralizing the Confederate forces at Jackson before turning against Vicksburg. After successfully capturing Jackson, Grant's men pivoted west, drove Pemberton's force into the defenses of Vicksburg, and forced a Confederate surrender on July 4, ending the Siege of Vicksburg. The site of the Battle of Raymond was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, and public interpretation of a portion of the site is provided by the Friends of Raymond. Historians Ed Bearss, Michael Ballard, and Timothy B. Smith have criticized McPherson's handling of the battle.

BackgroundEdit

See also: Mississippi River campaigns and Vicksburg campaign

Early in the Civil War, Union military leadership developed the Anaconda Plan, which was a strategy to defeat the Confederate States of America; a significant component of which was controlling the Mississippi River.[1] Much of the Mississippi Valley fell under Union control in early 1862 after the capture of New Orleans, Louisiana, and several land victories.[2] The strategically important city of Vicksburg, Mississippi was still in Confederate hands, serving as both a strong defensive position by commanding the river and as the linchpin between the two halves of the Confederacy. Union Navy elements were sent upriver from New Orleans in May to try to take the city, a move that was ultimately unsuccessful.[3] In late June, a joint army-navy expedition returned to make another campaign against Vicksburg.[4] Union Navy leadership decided that the city could not be taken without more infantrymen, who were not forthcoming. An attempt to cut a canal across a meander of the river, bypassing Vicksburg, failed.[5][6]

In late November, about 40,000 Union infantry commanded by Major General Ulysses S. Grant began moving south towards Vicksburg from a starting point in Tennessee. Grant ordered a retreat after a supply depot and part of his supply line were destroyed during the Holly Springs Raid and Forrest's West Tennessee Raid. Meanwhile, another arm of the expedition under the command of Major General William T. Sherman left Memphis, Tennessee on the same day as the Holly Springs Raid and traveled down the Mississippi River. After diverting up the Yazoo River, Sherman's men began skirmishing with Confederate soldiers defending a line of hills above the Chickasaw Bayou. A Union attack on December 29 was defeated decisively at the Battle of Chickasaw Bayou, and Sherman's men withdrew on January 1, 1863.[7]

Grant's Operations against Vicksburg

Beginning of Grant's campaignEdit

In early 1863, Grant planned further operations against Vicksburg. Some of these plans included revisiting the 1862 canal site attempt, a new plan to cut a canal into the Mississippi River near Lake Providence, Louisiana, and navigating through bayous to bypass Vicksburg. Expeditions sent through the Yazoo River and Steele's Bayou failed to find a viable alternate route.[8][9] By March 29, these alternatives were abandoned by Grant, leaving him with the choices of attacking Vicksburg from directly across the river, pulling back to Memphis and then attacking overland from the north, or marching south on the Louisiana side of the river and then crossing it below the city. Attacking the enemy from across the river, Grant could have risked heavy casualties, but pulling his men back to Memphis could have been interpreted as a retreat and politically disastrous. This led Grant to choose the southward movement. On April 29, Union Navy ships bombarded Confederate river batteries at Grand Gulf in preparation for a crossing, but they did not silence the position. Grant crossed his men the next day even farther south, at Bruinsburg, Mississippi.[10]

Grant drove inland with 24,000 men, defeating an 8,000-man Confederate blocking force at Port Gibson on May 1; the batteries at Grand Gulf were abandoned the next day.[11] Grant could either move north towards Vicksburg or head east and later turn to the west and attack Vicksburg from this direction. He chose the latter option as it provided a better chance of capturing Vicksburg's Confederate garrison and its commander, Lieutenant General John C. Pemberton. Grant put his plan in motion by having Sherman's XV Corps cross the Mississippi River at the now-abandoned Grand Gulf position and then drive towards Auburn. To Sherman's left, Major General John A. McClernand's XIII Corps covered the crossing of the Big Black River, and on the Union right was Major General John B. McPherson's XVII Corps. McPherson, who lacked experience in leading a sizable body of men in independent command, was directed to advance to Raymond via Utica.[12][13][14] McPherson's advance was resisted by little other than militia.[15] Union cavalrymen raided the New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern Railroad, damaging almost 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of the line.[16] On May 11, Grant ordered McPherson to take his command to Raymond and resupply there while maintaining the impression that he was targeting Jackson.[15]

Gregg's approach to RaymondEdit

Pemberton responded to the Union movements by moving his forces north along the course of the Big Black River, shadowing the Union movements but never crossing the river.[17] Meanwhile, reinforcements were brought up from elsewhere in the Confederacy and concentrated at Jackson. General Joseph E. Johnston was ordered on May 10 to travel to Jackson to command the growing force,[13] which would eventually amount to about 6,000 men.[18][19] One of these units was the brigade of Brigadier General John Gregg, which had been sent to Jackson from Port Hudson, Louisiana.[20] In his only aggressive action at the time,[17] Pemberton sent Gregg a telegram ordering him to take his brigade to Raymond with hopes of intercepting a Union unit rumored to be at Utica.[21] Both Gregg and Pemberton believed that the Union force was only a single brigade, which would have numbered about 1,500 men. In reality, the Union force at Utica was McPherson's corps, which numbered about 10,000 to 12,000 men.[22][23] Expecting the main Union assault to come at the Big Black River, Pemberton believed that any movements towards Jackson via Raymond were simply feints. He gave Gregg orders to fall back to Jackson if Union troops pushed through Raymond but to attack the rear of Grant's line if the Union army pivoted towards the Big Black.[24]

Gregg and his men reached Raymond on May 11, expecting to find Colonel Wirt Adams's Confederate cavalry in the town; Adams's men were to conduct reconnaissance. Instead, the only Confederate force in Raymond was a small command of 40 cavalrymen – mainly young locals[25] – and a separate five-man detachment. Gregg sent the 40-man unit down the road towards Utica while keeping the five men for courier service,[22][26] and sent a message to Adams telling him to bring his force to Raymond.[27] The unexpected lack of cavalry at Raymond may have been due to Adams misunderstanding a poorly written order from Pemberton.[28] Adams later sent a unit of 50 cavalrymen to aid Gregg; they arrived that night.[26] On the morning of May 12, the scouting force reported approaching Union soldiers,[29] and Gregg, still anticipating only a single Union brigade, prepared for battle with a force numbering around 3,000[22][30] to 4,000 men.[20] The scouts had been unable to provide an accurate count of Union strength. Believing that he could easily defeat the approaching enemy force, Gregg responded aggressively.[29]

He ordered Colonel Hiram Granbury to take the 7th Texas Infantry Regiment and the 1st Tennessee Infantry Battalion to a rise near the junction of the roads to Utica and Port Gibson.[31] The Texans were to attract Union attention and draw them into a cul-de-sac-shaped portion of Fourteenmile Creek.[32] Colonel Calvin H. Walker and the 3rd Tennessee Infantry Regiment were sent to the reverse slope of some high ground northeast of the bridge over Fourteenmile Creek. The 50th Tennessee Infantry Regiment and the 10th and 30th Tennessee Infantry Regiment (Consolidated) moved down the Gallatin Road to the left. Gregg planned to contest his line with Walker's and Granbury's men and then have the Tennesseeans down the Gallatin Road conduct a flanking attack against the Union right.[31] Hiram Bledsoe's Missouri Battery and its three cannons were positioned with the 1st Tennessee Battalion. The battery had orders to fire on any Union attempts to cross the bridge over the creek on Utica Road.[15] The 41st Tennessee Infantry Regiment was held in reserve about 0.5 miles (800 m) behind the 3d Tennessee, near the Raymond cemetery. The line was stretched thin to cover the three roads and contained gaps between units.[33] Heavy undergrowth along the position restricted Gregg's ability to clearly observe the Union forces when they came, preventing an accurate assessment of McPherson's strength.[34]

BattleEdit

Opening shotsEdit

General James B. McPherson

The fighting opened on the morning of May 12, when the leading Union troops, a cavalry force,[35] ran into skirmishers sent out by Granbury. The Union troops were surprised to meet resistance, and skirmishing began at a range of about 100 yards (90 m).[15] Gregg was informed by a scout that the Union force numbered only about 2,500 to 3,000 men; knowing that scouts frequently overestimated enemy strengths, this report confirmed Gregg's belief that he was facing at most a brigade.[36] Bledsoe's cannons opened fire at the advancing Union troops,[37] and Union artillery began firing as well. Which side opened the battle is not known.[38] Smoke from the firing clouded the air and reduced the effectiveness of both sides' artillery.[39] At around 09:00, McPherson realized that the Confederates in front of his force represented more than just skirmishers, and he began deploying for battle. McPherson used cavalry to cover his flanks and brought Brigadier General Elias Dennis's brigade of four regiments to the front.[40][41] The six cannons of the 8th Michigan Light Artillery Battery[42] were brought up to duel Bledsoe's Battery.[43] Dennis's men forced the Confederates back and sent a skirmish line across the creek.[43] The 3rd Ohio Battery also arrived on the scene, strengthening the Union line, which now had a twelve to three advantage in cannons. Union Brigadier General John E. Smith's five-regiment brigade of Logan's 6,500-man division arrived and attacked the Confederate line.[34][44] Of Smith's regiments, only the 23rd Indiana Infantry Regiment was successfully able to cross the creek; the others became bogged down in the heavy undergrowth near the creek.[43][44]

With the Union troops concentrated on a single road, Gregg decided to pull his troops closer together and attack. His plan was for the 7th Texas and the 3rd Tennessee to attack en echelon. The 50th Tennessee and 10th and 30th Tennessee (Consolidated) were to move off of the Gallatin Road and strike the Union line in the flank, which Gregg expected to be exposed.[45] Between the two regiments, Gregg's flanking force was composed of roughly 1,200 men.[46] Gregg also hoped that the two flanking units could capture McPherson's artillery,[47] as he was concerned that the Union's artillery advantage would eventually silence Bledsoe's guns.[39] Gregg's Texans hit the 20th Ohio Infantry Regiment and the 68th Ohio Infantry Regiment hard. The former regiment held, but the latter broke for the rear.[48] The Union line began to buckle, but it was rallied by the division commander Major General John A. Logan.[49][50] McPherson, in his inexperience, overestimated the strength of the Confederate force he was facing.[43] The 3rd Tennessee counterattacked the Indianans, who were driven back across the creek[51] and reformed beside the 20th Ohio and the 20th Illinois Infantry Regiment.[52] The attacking Tennesseans shifted to the southeast and advanced towards the 45th Illinois Infantry Regiment.[53] Gregg brought the 41st Tennessee up from the reserve, but he did not have the Union line scouted and was thus uninformed of its true strength.[43] Heavy smoke and dust limited Gregg's ability to see the battle, and events began to escape his control.[54]

Chaotic escalationEdit

A third Union brigade, under the command of Brigadier General John D. Stevenson, had held back in the rear due to dust clouds kicked up by Smith's brigade. As the battle grew in intensity, Stevenson began moving his men to a position behind the 8th Michigan Battery but was initially held back until Confederate intentions became clearer.[55] The brigade was then ordered by McPherson to support Dennis and Smith after the Confederate attack hit.[56] Stevenson's four regiments were split up, two being sent to support Smith and Dennis, and the others moving to shore up the Union right flank. The latter movement meant that Gregg's two flanking regiments would not strike an exposed Union position.[57] When some of the men of the 50th Tennessee opened fire on the Union line, the element of surprise was lost.[58] The unit's commander tried to inform Gregg that the Union force was much larger than expected, but the messenger could not find him. The 50th Tennessee fell back to a defensive position without informing other Confederate units.[59] The commander of the 10th and 30th Tennessee (Consolidated) had orders not to engage until after the 50th Tennessee had entered the fighting. Gregg's flank attack had stalled, one unit hanging out of the fighting and the other waiting for the former to enter the battle.[60]

On the other end of the Confederate line, an attack by the 20th Illinois drove back the 7th Texas.[61] At this point in the fighting, the lines had realigned so that the Union troops held the 125 yards (114 m) of the creek east of the bridge and fired north. On the other side of a curve in the creek, the Confederates held 100 yards (91 m) and fired south.[59] Meanwhile, the 3rd Tennessee continued to advance, expecting that its left flank would be covered by the 50th Tennessee. With the latter unit not in position, the 3rd Tennessee's flank was exposed to fire from the 31st Illinois Infantry Regiment.[26][62] Union troops counterattacked the 3rd Tennessee with four regiments and drove it back after a 45-minute fight, only to be staved off by the 41st Tennessee.[26] The 20th Ohio also attacked the 7th Texas. The Confederate unit retreated and split in two, some falling back to the 1st Tennessee Battalion and the rest to the 10th and 30th Tennessee (Consolidated).[62] More Union artillery arrived on the field when four 24-pounder howitzers from Battery D, 1st Illinois Light Artillery deployed.[63]

The battle was growing chaotic due to thick undergrowth and clouds of smoke, and units on both sides fought more and more individuals with less direction from high-ranking officers.[23][37] At 13:30, a brigade from Union Brigadier General Marcellus M. Crocker's division, commanded by Colonel John B. Sanborn, arrived on the field and moved to support Logan's left flank.[37] Two regiments from Crocker's division were also sent to aid Smith and Stevenson, as the 7th Texas was withdrawing. A Union regimental commander determined that the two new regiments were not needed, and the reinforcements took up a reserve position.[64] The 50th Tennessee and the 10th and 30th Tennessee (Consolidated) prepared to advance together, but they paused to await further orders. The expected orders did not arrive, and the latter unit moved to the right, breaking contact between the two units. The men of the 50th Tennessee heard the sound of heavy fighting to their right, and they began to take fire from this direction.[65] The unit then fell back to the position it had occupied in the morning.[64] The 10th and 30th Tennessee (Consolidated), having either been ordered by Gregg towards the center of the line to shore up the exposed flank of the 3rd Tennessee,[66] or been driven by Union troops towards that position, moved to a point in the line near where the 3rd Tennessee was fighting Smith's men.[67] The new deployment left a gap between the 10th and 30th Tennessee (Consolidated) and the 41st Tennessee.[64]

Union breakthroughEdit

McPherson was able to bring up 22 cannons onto the field,[37][68] and some of his men forced their way across the creek, making contact with the 50th Tennessee. The Union artillery began to fire on the exposed 10th and 30th Tennessee (Consolidated).[26][69] Knowing that a retreat would break the Confederate line and that his men would suffer casualties if they remained steady, the unit's commander, Colonel Randal William MacGavock, ordered an attack against the 7th Missouri Infantry Regiment,[70] which had recently crossed the creek. MacGavock was killed early in the charge, but his men could drive the Missourians back before being halted by fire from the 31st Illinois and the rallied Missourians. A counterattack drove them back to their starting point, but an attempt by the Missouri regiment to gain further ground was repulsed.[71] Gregg did not know that his left flank was held by the 50th Tennessee, and he ordered the 41st Tennessee in this direction. At the same time, the 50th Tennessee had begun moving on its own to the right, where the sounds of battle were coming from; the two regiments essentially switched places.[69]

The weight of superior Union numbers was beginning to tell.[23] Gregg determined that a retreat was necessary, and he ordered the 1st Tennessee Battalion to feign an attack against Crocker's men, covering the withdrawal of the spent 7th Texas and 3rd Tennessee.[72] The Union troops fell for the bluff and withdrew, allowing the 1st Tennessee Battalion to cover the Confederate retreat.[73] The 10th and 30th Tennessee (Consolidated) began to withdraw on its own, but then it attacked a Union regiment from Ohio, only to be driven back by stronger Union forces.[72] The 50th Tennessee either moved to the Utica Road during the retreat and covered it while falling back[73] or withdrew via the Gallatin Road.[74] Six companies of the 3rd Kentucky Mounted Infantry Regiment arrived on the field unexpectedly, and they helped cover the retreat.[72] The retreat occurred over two roads,[75] and Gregg's men fell back through the town of Raymond and onto the road to Jackson,[26][72] before stopping for the night in some woods near a local cemetery.[76] They were joined by 1,000 men under the command of Brigadier General W. H. T. Walker that evening.[77] Fighting ended around 16:00,[78] and Union soldiers entered Raymond where they found and consumed a meal of fried chicken and lemonade that area women had prepared for Gregg's men, expecting a Confederate victory. Gregg's men abandoned their wounded and fell back to Jackson the next day; McPherson did not pursue, citing the difficulty of the terrain.[76] The Union forces were also very disorganized.[79] Anne Martin, a civilian resident of Raymond, reported that the Union soldiers occupying the town looted her house, and she wrote a letter to a family member stating that she had heard sounds of similar destruction from elsewhere in the town.[80]

AftermathEdit

Reports of Union casualties vary between 442 and 446. The historians William L. Shea and Terrence J. Winschel supported the latter number and broke down casualties as 68 killed, 341 wounded, and 37 missing;[81] Donald L. Miller agreed with this total,[76] as did the historian Timothy B. Smith.[78] The former figure was given by the historians Shelby Foote and Michael B. Ballard and the writer Winston Groom;[20][27][82] in one work, Ed Bearss gave the total as 442 with a breakdown of 66 killed, 339 wounded, and 37 missing,[83] although he also supported the 446 figure in a different work.[84] Confederate losses were reported as either 514, with a breakdown of 72 killed, 252 wounded, and 190 missing,[83][20] or 515 with the extra loss being another man killed.[81][84] Another statement of Confederate casualties was provided by McPherson, who claimed to have captured 720 Confederates and found another 103 slain on the field.[82] Smith attributed the 515 figure to Gregg's post-battle report, and notes that the casualty figures were later updated by a small amount. He also stated that it is likely that the exact number of casualties suffered during the battle will never be known.[78] Confederate losses were heaviest in the 3rd Tennessee and the 7th Texas.[81] In addition to the human casualties, the Confederates lost one of Bledsoe's cannons, which burst during the fighting.[64] Union wounded were treated in field hospitals set up in local churches; a Confederate field hospital was run inside the Hinds County courthouse.[82] Union losses represented about three percent of McPherson's force, while Gregg lost about sixteen percent of his.[85]

The fight at Raymond demonstrated to Grant that the Confederate force in Jackson was stronger than he had believed, leading him to decide that the Confederates there must be neutralized to allow him to attack Vicksburg without the risk of being caught between two Confederate armies.[86] Thinking that McPherson's corps was insufficient to take Jackson on its own, Grant decided to bring his whole army to bear against the city, abandoning a previous plan to turn west and cross the Big Black River at Edwards and Bolton.[37] The previously planned movement was viewed as too risky with Johnston and the Jackson garrison left in the Union army's rear,[87] especially as McClernand's men had also encountered part of Pemberton's force elsewhere simultaneously as the battle at Raymond.[88] McClernand was ordered to move to Raymond, McPherson was to head northeast to Clinton and then strike Jackson, and Sherman was to approach the place from the southwest.[37] A successful action against Jackson had the potential to remove its value as a Confederate reinforcements center and clear the area of Confederate troops.[89] From Pemberton's perspective, a Union movement against Jackson had the ability to sever the key railroad supply lines to Vicksburg. As a result, the Confederates would need to defeat Grant in open battle outside of the defenses of Vicksburg, and Pemberton's army moved east for this purpose. Johnston had issued an order for Pemberton's force to join with his at Clinton, but this was not possible due to Union control of the area.[90]

On May 14, the Union army attacked Jackson. Johnston withdrew his men from the city, Gregg performing rear guard duty.[19] Grant's army then turned west and encountered Pemberton's men, who were attempting to make a stand east of Vicksburg. On May 16, Pemberton's men were defeated at the Battle of Champion Hill, and after a defeat in a rearguard action at the Battle of Big Black River Bridge the next day they withdrew into the Vicksburg defenses.[91][92] Union attempts to take the city by direct assault on May 19 and 22 failed, and Grant placed Vicksburg under siege. Supplies within the city eventually ran low, and with no hope of escape Pemberton surrendered the city and his army to Grant on July 4, ending the siege of Vicksburg. The capture of Vicksburg was a critical point in the war.[93]

AssessmentEdit

Bearss describes McPherson's handling of the battle as "not a success" and as "far too cautious or, perhaps worse, timid", citing his piecemeal deployment of his troops and ineffective use of his artillery advantage.[31][94] Miller also states that McPherson mismanaged the battle and called the decision not to pursue a mistake.[76] Ballard concludes that McPherson had not formed an overall plan of command, instead just feeding troops into the fight and leaving tactical decisions to junior commanders. Ballard attributes the Union victory to numerical advantage, rather than McPherson's generalship.[82] Smith writes that "McPherson did not earn high marks for the handling of his corps" and criticizes him for allowing the Confederates to have the tactical initiative for most of the fighting and for failing to properly coordinate his troops. He also believes that the Union general should have had plans for a pursuit.[78] Bearss also criticizes Gregg for being too aggressive and failing to ascertain the strength of the force he was facing.[94] Conversely, Smith believes that Gregg "demonstrated real ability" in planning, use of discretion, and inspiring his men.[78] Alternatively, writer Kevin Dougherty attributes the Confederate defeat to Gregg's failure to gain an accurate assessment of McPherson's strength and the nature of the battlefield situation.[95]

Battlefield preservationEdit

Battle of Raymond historic site on the Natchez Trace Parkway near Raymond, Mississippi.

The site of the battle was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on January 13, 1972, as the Raymond Battlefield Site.[96] The 1971 NRHP application form stated that the battlefield had been altered, but that it was still in good condition.[97] At that time, the site had both publicly and privately owned elements and had restricted access. Parts of the battlefield were used for agricultural, residential, industrial, or transportation purposes.[98] Two iterations of Mississippi Highway 18 cut through the field. Construction of the newer iteration had required disinterring Confederate dead from a burial trench. The battlefield location of Bledsoe's battery had been covered over by an industrial facility, and the road to Utica was overgrown and no longer in use.[97] The listing encompassed 1,440 acres (580 ha) of the battlefield,[99] but only about 936 acres (379 ha) were still listed in 2010.[100]

The Battle of Raymond was one of 16 Civil War battle sites studied by the Civil War Sites Advisory Commission (CWSAC) in Mississippi.[101] In 1993, a CWSAC study ranked the Raymond battlefield as in the tier of highest priority for protection.[102] A reenactment of the battle took place on the site in 2001.[103] In 2010, the site received another study, this time from the American Battlefield Protection Program (ABPP). The ABPP study focused on 5,643.83 acres (2,283.98 ha) and deemed that 4,467.02 acres (1,807.74 ha) of them were potentially eligible for NRHP listing.[104] As of 2010, about 79 percent of the battlefield at Raymond was still considered intact,[102] including the Union artillery position, Fourteenmile Creek, and part of the Utica Road.[105] The Friends of Raymond group manages 135 acres (55 ha) of the site as the Raymond Military Park, providing public interpretation.[106] As of 2010, the interpretation included a walking trail and signage.[107] In December 2020, the Mississippi Department of Archives and History received a grant to purchase 43.71 acres (17.69 ha) at Raymond; the land covered by the grant connects tracts of land already publicly preserved.[108]

Hurricane Patricia

The 2015 Pacific hurricane season was the second-most active Pacific hurricane season on record, and featured the strongest tropical cyclone ever observed in the Western Hemisphere: Hurricane Patricia (pictured). The 2015 season officially started on May 15 in the Eastern Pacific—east of 140°W—and on June 1 in the Central Pacific—between the International Date Line and 140°W—and ended on November 30. Throughout the season, 31 tropical depressions developed, 26 of which became tropical storms, a record-tying 16 of them reached hurricane strength, and a record-breaking 11 achieved major hurricane intensity. Activity in the Central Pacific shattered records, with 16 tropical cyclones forming in or entering the basin; the previous record was 11, set during the 1992 and 1994 seasons. Activity in the basin was boosted by the strong 2014–2016 El Niño event, which brought anomalously high sea surface temperatures and low vertical wind shear that helped the numerous systems form and intensify.

Edit

The frilled lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingii), also known as the frillneck lizard, frill-necked lizard or frilled dragon, is a species of lizard in the family Agamidae. It is native to northern Australia and southern New Guinea. This species is the only member of the genus Chlamydosaurus. Its common names come from the large frill around its neck, which usually stays folded against the lizard's body. It reaches 90 cm (35 in) from head to tail and can weigh 600 g (1.3 lb). Males are larger and more robust than females. It is generally grey, brown, orangish-brown, or black in colour. The frills have red, orange, yellow or white colours.

Distribution of Chlamydosaurus kingii

The frilled lizard is largely arboreal, spending most of its time in trees. Its diet consists mainly of insects and other invertebrates. It is more active during the wet season, when it spends more time near or on the ground. It is less observed during the dry season, during which it seeks shade in the branches of the upper canopy. It breeds in the late dry season and early wet season. The lizard uses its frill to scare off predators and display to other individuals. The species is considered to be of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

TaxonomyEdit

British zoologist John Edward Gray described the frilled lizard in 1825 as Clamydosaurus kingii. He used a specimen collected by botanist Allan Cunningham at Careening Bay, off north-western Australia, while part of an expedition conducted by Captain Phillip Parker King in HMS Mermaid.[2][3] The generic name, Chlamydosaurus, is derived from the Ancient Greek chlamydo (χλαμύς), meaning "cloaked" or "mantled", and Latin saurus (sauros), meaning "lizard".[4] The specific name, kingii, is a Latinised form of King.[5] It is the only species classified in its genus.[6]

The frilled lizard is classified in the family Agamidae and the subfamily Amphibolurinae. It split from its closest living relatives around 10 million years ago based on genetic evidence.[7] A 2017 mitochondrial DNA analysis of the species across its range revealed three lineages demarcated by the Ord River and the southeast corner of the Gulf of Carpentaria (Carpentarian Gap). One lineage ranged across Queensland and southern New Guinea and is sister to one that ranged from western Queensland to the Ord River. The ancestor of these two split from a lineage that populates the Kimberley. Frilled lizards entered southern New Guinea possibly around 17,000 years ago during a glacial cycle, when sea levels were lower and a land bridge connected the island to Cape York. The study upholds C. kingii as one species with the different populations being "shallow allopatric clades".[8]

The following cladogram is based on Pyron and colleagues (2013).[9]

DescriptionEdit

Anatomy of the frill of Chlamydosaurus kingii

The frilled lizard grows to a total length of around 90 cm (35 in) and a head-body length of 27 centimetres (11 in), and weighs up to 600 g (1.3 lb).[10][11][8] It has a particularly large and wide head; a long neck to accommodate the frill; long legs and a tail that makes most of its total length.[6][10][12] The species is sexually dimorphic, males being larger than females[8][10] and having proportionally bigger frills, heads and jaws.[13] The corners of the frilled lizard's eyes are pointed and the rounded nostrils face away from each other and angle downwards. Most of the lizard's scales are keeled, having a ridge down the centre. From the backbone to the sides, the scales alternate between small and large.[6]

The distinctive frill is a flap of skin that extends from the head and neck and contains several folded ridges. When fully extended, the frill is disc-shaped and can reach over four times the length of the animal's torso in diameter. Otherwise it wraps around the body.[14][15] The frill is laterally symmetrical; the right and left sides are attached at the bottom in a V-shape, and cartilage-like connective tissue (Grey's cartilage) connects the top ends to each side of the head near the ear openings.[12][14] The frill is supported by rod-like hyoid bones, and is spread out by movements of these bones, the lower jaw and Grey's cartilage.[14] This structure mainly functions as a threat display to predators and for communication between individuals. It can also act as camouflage when folded, but this is unlikely to have been a consequence of selection pressure.[15] The frill may be capable of working like a directional microphone, allowing them to better hear sounds directly in front of them but not around them.[16] There is no evidence for other suggested functions, such as food storage, gliding or temperature regulation.[15]

A frilled lizard in a reptile display (frill folded)

Frilled lizards vary between grey, brown, orangish-brown, and black dorsally, the underside being paler white or yellow. Males have a dark belly but a lighter chest. The underside and lateral sides of the species are sprinkled with dark brown markings that merge to create bands on the tail.[6] The colours of the frills vary based on range; lizards west of the Ord River have red-coloured frills, those living between the river and the Carpentarian Gap have orange frills, and those east of the gap have yellow to white frills. New Guinean frilled lizards are yellow-frilled.[8] The more colourful frills have white patches which may add to the display.[17] Colouration is mainly created by carotenoids and pteridine pigments; lizards with red and orange frills have more carotenoids than those with yellow and white frills, the latter two are also lacking in pteridines.[8][18] Yellow colouration has been linked to higher steroid hormones.[18] Among western lizards, the amount of red or orange colouring correlates with success in display competitions between males of similar size.[19]

Distribution and habitatEdit

The frilled lizard inhabits northern Australia and southern New Guinea. Its Australian range stretches from the Kimberley region of Western Australia east though the Top End of the Northern Territory to Queensland's Cape York Peninsula and nearby islands of Muralug, Badu, and Moa, and south to Brisbane.[1][6] In New Guinea, it lives in the Trans-Fly ecosystem on both the Papua New Guinean and Indonesian sides of the island.[1] The species mainly inhabits savannahs and sclerophyll woodlands.[6][8] It prefers highly elevated areas with good soil drainage and a greater variety of tree species, mostly Eucalyptus species, and avoids lower plains with mostly Melaleuca and Pandanus trees.[10] Frilled lizards also prefer areas with less vegetation on the ground, as they can then better spot prey from above.[20]

Behaviour and ecologyEdit

Frilled lizard in natural environment, showing camouflage

The frilled lizard is a diurnal (daytime) and arboreal species,[8] spending over 90% each day up in the trees. It spends as little time on the ground as possible, mostly to feed, interact socially, or to travel to a new tree. Males move around more, 69 m (75 yd) per day on average versus 23 m (25 yd) for females at Kakadu National Park.[10] In the same area, male lizards were found to have an average home range of 1.96 ha (4.8 acres) during the dry season and 2.53 ha (6.3 acres) during the wet season; females used 0.63 ha (1.6 acres) and 0.68 ha (1.7 acres) for the wet and dry seasons respectively.[10][21] Male lizards assert their boundaries with frill displays.[15] Frilled lizards are capable of moving bipedally and do so while hunting or to escape from predators. To keep balanced, they lean their heads far back enough, so it lines up behind the tail base.[10][12][17]

These lizards are more active during the wet season, when they select smaller trees and are more commonly seen near the ground; during the dry season, they use larger trees and are found at greater heights.[22] Frilled lizards do not enter torpidity during the dry season, but they can greatly reduce their energy usage and metabolic rate in response to less food and water.[23] Body temperatures can approach 40 °C (104 °F).[10] The species will bask vertically on the main tree trunk in the morning and near the end of the day,[10][24] though in the dry season they cease basking at a lower body temperature to better maintain energy and water.[24][25] When it gets hotter during day, they climb higher in the canopy for shade.[10] Frilled lizards will use large trees and termite mounds as refuges during wildfires. After a forest is burnt, the lizards select trees with more continuous canopies.[20]

Frilled lizard in threat display

Frilled lizards primarily feed on insects and other invertebrates, and very rarely take vertebrates. Prominent prey includes termites, ants and centipedes; termites are particularly important food during the dry season, and moth larvae become important during the wet season.[22] Consumption of ants drops after early dry season fires but rises following fires later in the season.[20] This species is a sit-and-wait predator: it watches for potential prey from a tree and, upon seeing it, climbs down and rushes towards it on two legs before descending on all four to grab and eat it. After feeding, it retreats back up a tree.[10]

Frilled lizards face threats from birds of prey and larger lizards and snakes.[10][17] When threatened, the species erects its frill to make itself look bigger. This display is accompanied by a gaping mouth, puffing, hissing, and tail lashes. The lizard may also flee and hide from its predators.[17] Several species of nematode infest the gastrointestinal tract.[26] There is at least one record of an individual dying of cryptosporidiosis.[27]

Frilled lizards can breed during the late dry and early wet seasons.[10] Competing males display with gaping mouths and spread frills. Fights can ensue, in which the lizards pounce and bite each other's heads.[15] The female digs a shallow cavity to leave her eggs.[28][29] They can lay multiple clutches per season, and the number of eggs in a clutch can vary from four to over 20.[10][28] The incubation period can last two to four months,[28][29] with milder temperatures producing more males and more extreme temperatures producing more females.[29] Hatchlings have proportionally smaller frills than adults.[15] Lizards grow during the wet season when food is more abundant,[22] and males grow faster than females.[30] Juvenile males also disperse further from their hatching area.[31] The species reaches sexual maturity within two years; males live up to six years compared to four years for females.[21]

ConservationEdit

The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the frilled lizard as of least concern, due to its abundance and wide range, but warns that its population may be locally declining in some areas. It is a popular species in the pet trade, which may threaten some wild populations. Most pet lizards appear to come from Indonesia, as export of them is banned in Australia and Papua New Guinea. Being difficult to breed in captivity, many presumed captive bred lizards are likely to have been taken from the wild. Frilled lizards may also be threatened by feral cats,[1] though they do not appear to be significantly affected by the invasive cane toad.[32]

Relationship with humansEdit

Frilled lizard from Narrative of a Survey Volume 2, by Phillip Parker King, 1827

The frilled lizard is considered to be among the most iconic Australian animals along with the kangaroo and koala.[10] Archaeological evidence indicates that frilled lizards were eaten by some indigenous peoples in ancient times.[33] In the late 19th century, William Saville-Kent brought a live lizard to England where it was observed by fellow biologists. Another specimen was kept at a reptile display in Paris, as reptiles were becoming more popular in captivity.[2]

Because of its unique appearance and behaviour, the creature has often been used in media. In Steven Spielberg's 1993 film Jurassic Park, the dinosaur Dilophosaurus was portrayed with a similar neck frill that rose when attacking.[14] Its image has been used in the 1994 LGBT-themed film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.[34] The species has been featured on some Australian coins.[10]
