behind. Series equidistant from nares and from parasphenoid series, 

 by V3 length of vomerines, parasphenoids in two long narrow patches 

 beginning behind middle of eye socket. Tail imperfect, a pointed ellipse 

 in cross section. Yellow, a narrow black line from behind eye and above 

 postocular groove, beginning as a series of spots on head, a line on the body, 

 and breaking again into spots on the tail. Stripe distinctly bordered with 

 lighter above and less distinctly below. Region between stripes dotted 

 with black. Faint gray wash on sides. Limbs gray. Ventral surface 

 immaculate. 



Dimensions. — Total length, 56; head, 7; body, 27; tail (imperfect), 20 

 mm. 



Variations. — No females seen have cirri. Occasional males lack them 

 but I am unable to correlate this with age or season. The coloration is very 

 variable. In general it is easy to distinguish a specimen of this form from 

 one of the typical race and this on account of the sharp outlines of the 

 black in wilderae and the usual absence in it of the dark wash, but occa- 

 sional specimens are almost the reverse of this and, lacking all trace of 

 the stripe, are uniformly dotted with black. Usually the stripe is absent 

 on the distal half of the tail or is represented by a row of dots. But the 

 color of wilderae is usually lighter and the markings more definite in outline 

 than in any of the other races of bislineata. Besides the type and sixteen 

 others from White Top Mt., Va., I have seen specimens of this form from 

 Linville, Cranberry, Roan Mt., Black Mt., Mt. Mitchell, Cane River, 

 Burnsville, Mt. Sterling, Pink Beds, Montreat, Blantyre, Brevard, High- 

 lands and Henderson Co., North Carolina, from an unknown locality in 

 Tennessee (probably in the Smokies) and from Clayton, Rabun Co., and 

 Cherry Log, Gilmer Co., Ga. So that the range is the Southern division 

 of the Blue Ridge. At Linville a batch of eggs was found hatching on 

 July 19. They were attached to the under side of a stone in a brook just 

 as are the eggs of bislineata. 



White Top, 17; Linville, 8; Mt. Sterling, 11 larvae. 



Eurycea bislineata cirrigera (Green). 



Anniston, adults, larvae; Morrisville, larvae. 



Specimens from Anniston and Morrisville represent this southern race, 

 characterized by cirri in the males and by the dark area below the stripe 

 being mottled with white, especially on the tail.
