11. Spelerpes bislineatus (Green). 



TWO-LINED TRITON. 



Common. One finds this salamander most often along streams, partic 

 ularly cave outlets. In November they come out of the water and pass 

 the winter under stones and logs near the stream. I once found one 

 under such conditions, with the head cleanly severed from the body, but 

 lying in its natural position not far removed. So far the agent of this 

 skillful decapitation has remained unknown. 



Stony Spring, Griffy Creek, Cascades.

BROWN TRITON.
