11. Spelerpes bi^lineatus (Green). 



TWO-I.INKD TRITON. 



Common. One finds this salamamler most often along streams, partic- 

 ular!}' cave outlets. In November they come out of tlie water and pass 

 the winter under stones and lo^js near the stream. I once found one 

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

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

 skillful decapitation has remained unknown.
