PALMATE NEWT. 



(Lophinus palmatus, Dum. and Bibr.) 



This species (Plate 10, Fig. 3) is said to be the most 

 common newt around Paris, and Lord Clermont 

 states that it occurs in many parts of Germany, 

 near Vienna, and elsewhere. It is common in the 

 south of France, but rare in Switzerland. In Italy 

 it has been found near Rome and about Pisa. To 

 this M. Deby adds more explicitly that it was found 

 " by Fournelle in the department of the Moselle, by 

 Sturm in Germany, by Razoumowski in Switzerland, 

 by Latreille in France, and by De Selys, Van Haesen- 

 donck, and myself, in Belgium." * 



The specimens described and figured in the first 

 edition of Bell's " Reptiles " as the Palmated Smooth 



* The Zoologist, p. 2231.
