This species appears to be common on Long 

 Island. Specimens are frequently brought to the 

 Museum. Its favorite haunts are damp woods, 

 often at some distance from streams and ponds. 



AMBLYSTOMA OPACUM (Gravenhorst). 



(Marbled Salamander). 



1 specimen Mt. Sinai, L. I. Sept. 18, 1909. 



— R. C. Murphy. 



1 specimen Baldwin, L. 1. July 25. 1911. 



— Dwight Franklin. 



My only experience in finding this species has 

 been in the pine barrens near Lakehurst, N". J., at 

 a place known as " Bone Hill," where, in company 

 with Mr. William T. Davis, three specimens were 

 captured, Aug., 1906, in a barrel sunk at one end 

 of a small pool. This pool, though much reduced 

 in summer, never runs dry, and the barrel formed 

 an excellent trap which the salamanders could 

 readily enter in spring, when the water is high, 

 but from which they could not escape in the sum- 

 mer. For several succeeding seasons A. opacum 

 was found in the barrel, but no other species. 

 When visited during June, 1912, the barrel had 

 collapsed, but the pool swarmed with larvae 1 to 1^ 

 inches long. Except during the breeding season, 

 this species prefers dry or shady places, as already 

 reported by Cope and others. 



AMBYSTOMA JEFFERSONIANUM (Green). 



1 specimen Montauk, L. L May 31, 1913. 



— Geo. P. Engelhardt. 



The capture of this specimen is of unusual 

 interest in furnishing the first record of the species 

 from Long Island and, it appears, also from the 

 vicinity of New York City. In general it can be
