52. Cryptobranohus allegheniensis (Latr.). Hellbender. 



A specimen was taken from the interior of a water snake, Natrix 

 sipedon. The anterior half of the body is much macerated, but the 

 remainder is in good condition. The animal is about two-thirds 

 grown; the ground color a greenish olive, spotted, in strong contrast 

 with irregular transverse bands and blotches of black. The abdomen 

 is sparingly spotted with the same shade. In all other specimens I 

 have examined the general shade was leaden and the marbling 

 obscure or absent altogether.
