SALAMANDRA RUBRA. 37 



Daudin, however, gave the first description of it, and this he accompanied with 

 a tolerable figure; he is wrong, however, in supposing the abdomen to be marked 

 with a dusky line. 



I refer, without much hesitation, the Salamandra sub-fusca and Salamandra 

 maculata of Green to the Salamandra rubra, although I have never had an 

 opportunity of examining those animals, yet Dr. Pickering informs me that they 

 are identical; and even Mr. Green was latterly in doubt whether they were 

 distinct species.
