* The axolotls whose metamorphosis has be^ observed in confinement by Dum6ril .and others, .are 

 not the spotted iixoloti of the Valley of Mexico,' 'hose metamorphosis has not yet been recorded, as 

 I pointed out in the Am. Journal Sci. Arts, Feb . 1871, and as Boulenger observes in the Catalogue 

 Batrachia Gr.adientia British Museum, 1882, p. 51. It is, however, probable that it takes pl.ice in 

 the latter species, so that I have referred it to Ambl. stoma.
