728 AMPHIBIA—SALMANDRID. 
cirrhi or nasal appendages were about one-fourth of aninchlong. From 
the situation where they were found, and from their general appearance, 
they must be placed among the Land Salamanders; but their fleshy 
cirrhi seem conclusively to prove that their principal resort must be in 
the water.”

From the State I have seen but one specimen, which was captured 
near Lancaster. It frequents running water in deep caverns, and thus 
resembles the Proteus of Carniola. Its subterranean habits prepare us 
to expect what we actually find it to be, one of our most beautiful species 
of Salamander.
