forms, all about this locality, very often both under the same log. 
They were not especially active and would twist in serpentine 
contortions when taken in the hand. Although secreting a slime 
it was not so powerful as that of Plethodon glutinosus, About 
Trenton Dr, Abbott finds it in dry woods, away from water, 
under stones, logs, etc. He has met with it in early spring. Mr. 
S. H. Hamilton secured it near Mantua early in April of 1906. 
Mr. Witmer Stone claims that in his experience that this species 
and Plethodon glutinosus are nowhere equally abundant, one or 
the other always predominating. I have on different occasions 
found or seen several specimens, some of the present species 
being positively identified, and therefore not to be confused with 
Desmognathus fusca, in the same localities frequented by Ple- 
thodon glutinosus. ‘This would however seem rather exceptional.
