Order URODELA. 

 Family AMBF.YSTOMID.E. 



4. Amblystoma talpoideum Holb. Todjjole; SalfDuandcr. 



As a rule, not so common as tbe following three species. 

 It is found under logs and stones, in wet places in the higher 

 parts of the state. 



5. Amblystoma opacum Graveiihovst. Mnrhlcd Sahimaiider. 



Occurs in tlie same localities as tbe preceding species. 

 G. Amblystoma punctatum Linn. SjtoHed i^alavKoidcr. 



This species is, by far, tbe most common in the state. 

 Known wherever it occurs as ''Ground Puppy." 



7. Amblystoma tigrinum Green. Tiger Salamander. 



Resembling very much the former, it is, however, some- 

 what larger and heavier Its range is mucli the same, and 

 it is common wherever found. 



8. Chondrotus microstomus Cope. Porphyry Salamander. 



Very common in several sections of tbe state. 



Family PLETHODONTID^E. 



9. Plethodon glutinosus Green. Slimy Salamander. 



This species I have found only in single instances — in 

 northwestern Louisiana. Mr. Gustave Kohn, however, re- 

 ports it as common in St. Tammiiny parish. 



10. Manculus quadridigitatus Holb. Four- fingered Salamander. 

 This exceedingly small species is (according to Mr. Kohn) 



very plentiful in some parts of St. Tammany parish. It un- 

 doubtedly exists in other sections of tbe state, but, so far, I 

 have not discovered it. 



11. Spelerpes bilineatus Green. Green''s Triton. 



Mr. Kolin's re(;ords are, thus far, tbe only ones I have on 

 this Triton. He obtained his specimens in the vicinity of 

 Mandeville. 

 13. Spelerpes guttolineatus Holb. Holhrook's Triton. 



I have obtained only a single individual of this species — 

 near Como. Consequently I have no idea whether it is com- 

 mon or not. 

 13. Spelerpes ruber Daud. Red Triton. 



This exceedingly handsome Triton may be said to be 

 fairly common. I have collected it in St. Tammany Parish,
