126 SALAMANDRA HALDEMANI. 



Habits. Little is known of the habits of the Salamandra Haldemani, except 

 that it is a land animal, is found under old logs and stones, and feeds on small 

 insects, worms, &c. 



Geographical Distribution. This salamander inhabits the states of Pennsyl- 

 vania, Maryland and Virginia, from all of which I have received specimens, and 

 it will doubtless be found much more widely extended when our herpetology shall 

 be better known. 



General Remarks. My friend, S. S. Haldeman, Esq., of Pennsylvania, to 

 whom I am indebted for much information on the habits of reptiles, was the first 

 naturalist who observed this salamander, and procured me a specimen from the 

 borders of the Susquehanna river, and to him I have dedicated the species.
