A single specimen (No. 65523) of this interesting species has 

 been sent to the Museum by Prof. C. Ping, from the neighborhood 

 of Nanking. It agrees in ahiiost every respect with the detailed 

 descriptions by Doctor Wolterstorff, especially with his No. 5. The 

 black collar, already mentioned by Pere David, is present and there 

 is no red spot at the angle of the mouth.

Of this rare species which apparently has not been collected since 

 Pere David sent the type material to the Paris Museum in 1873, the 

 National Museum has received two splendid specimens (Nos. 

 65341-2) from Mr. Sowerby. Pere David who believed that he had 

 Cynops chinensis, which Swinhoe had shown him in Shanghai, be- 

 cause they were larger than his Triton orientalis and had the under- 

 side yellow with black spots, collected his specimens not far from 

 Tsitou in the mountains of southern Kiangsi near the border of 

 Fukien. Mr. Sowerby's specimens are from Yen-ping-fu, Fukien, 

 thus extending the range of the species considerably. They agree 

 perfectly with Boulenger's excellent illustration of one of the cotypes.
