1. Notes on tailed Batrachians without lungs. 



By Dr. Einar Lönnberg, Upsala. 



eingeg. 26. November 1895. 



Two years ago while engaged in classifying my collection of verte- 

 brate animals from Florida, I observed that some of the salamanders 

 were by nature deprived of lungs , and I showed this peculiar fact to 

 several zoologists in Upsala. However as I did not hurry with the 

 publication I soon found in Anat. Anzeiger Bd. IX No, 7 of 20th Jan. 

 1894 that Dr. Harris Wilder at the same time or probably a little 

 earlier had made the same observation. His paper is dated North- 

 hampton, Mass. 1. Dec. 1893. Dr. H. Wilder thus had the priority 

 and as he at the end of his paper says: »Seit einiger Zeit habe ich für 

 diesen Punct etwas Material gesammelt, welches ich später zu ver- 

 öffentlichen gedenke « , I did not want to interfere in any way before 

 he had finished his investigations. But as two years have already 

 passed and I have not seen anything more published on this subject 

 by Dr. H. Wilder I think it cannot be unloyal to publish the 

 following notes, the more so as possibly by the same, Dr. Wilder may 

 find more material for a thorough investigation ; and as during these two 

 years of waiting an Italian zoologist, Professor Lorenzo C amer ano, 

 has written about similar occurrences in the European species Spe- 

 lerpes fuscus (Bonap.) diudi Salamatidrina per spicillata (Savi.)i.
