lo THE SALAMANDER 



Among the Cestodes Taenia dis-par has been reported by Fuhrmann 

 (1896). Von Linstow's nomenclature is of course obsolete. For 

 example his Oxysoma hrevkaudatum is almost certainly the worm 

 now known as Aplectana hrevicaudata^ and Nematoxys commutatus is 

 probably Cosmocerca commutata (Dies.), since specimens referable 

 to these genera have been found during the present investigation, 

 together with the trematode Brachycoelium salamandrae Frolich, which 

 certainly represents v. Linstow's Distomum crassicolle. Ecto-parasites 

 seem to be entirely absent. 



General Literature. 



So far there have been two monographs devoted to the anatomy 

 of the Salamander — the first by Funk (1827) which has been dealt 

 with in the Introduction, and the second by Rusconi, commenced in 

 1839 but not published until 1854, after the death of the author. 

 These two works must be considered as to a large extent complemen- 

 tary. Rusconi corrects some of Funk's mistakes — notably with 

 regard to the vascular system — and fills in some of his omissions. 

 Of these latter the most noteworthy is the account of the anatomy of 

 the larva and of the changes which take place during metamorphosis. 

 He also deals at some length with the lymphatic system, with the 

 life-history, and with the habits of both larva and adult — topics 

 scarcely touched upon in Funk's account. 



Of the other literature of a general nature must be mentioned the 

 'Amphibia' in Bronn's Klassen und Ordnungen des Thierreichs^ written 

 by C. K. Hoffmann (1873-8), in which frequent references are 

 made to Salamandra, but which is rather a compilation of existing 

 knowledge than an original contribution. Most of the original 

 material it does contain had been published previously elsewhere. 

 Of a similar nature is Noble's recent work on the Biology of the 

 Amphibia (1931). Osawa's account of the anatomy of Crypto- 

 branchus (1902) and Gaupp's Anatomie des Frosches (1896) have 

 been found to be of considerable use for comparative purposes.
