46 REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM: 
rather linear, not especially elongate, stout, conic, hardly de- 
pressed basally, and without web or outer margin. ‘Third finger 
longest, 3 in rest of arm, first shortest, and fourth a little shorter 
than third. Hind limb inserted much nearer tip of snout than 
tip of tail, and reaching 3 to latter. Fourth toe longest, about 
3 in rest of leg, fifth shortest, and second a little shorter than 
third. Soles of each foot with 2 well‘marked, though small, 
tubercles. Vent large, longitudinal, and just after hind legs on 
lower surface of trunk. Color in alcohol dull brownish, pores 
on skin producing a paler or minutely pale-spotted or dotted 
appearance on upper surface of body. Lower surface of body 
pale, almost uniform dull brownish-white or creamy-whitish. 
At present inferior rising of yellowish on side in small obsolete 
blotches, also several ill-defined yellowish spots. Parotid region 
dull creamy-yellow with a slightly darker brownish transverse 
band, about width of iris, from behind rictus up and over to op- 
posite side. Behind this another similar paler band from each 
shoulder. Limbs brownish, paler on lower surfaces, and darker 
cross-bands on upper surfaces hardly distinct. Tail pale creamy- 
brownish with a few rather large brownish blotches rather irreg- 
ularly distributed. Iris dusky-brown. Length 5% inches. Type 
of Ambystoma bicolor Hallowell. Beesley’s Point. Samuel 
Ashmead. 
This is the only example I have seen. Hallowell states that 
its color was “blackish above, sides with yellow, tail yellow, and 
back marked and spotted.”’ Cope next states “color above, olive 
brown, below yellowish, olive shaded in middle.” The only 
other examples known seem to be those Cope noted, one from 
the above or type locality, and Alabama. ‘The latter differ a 
little, however.
