said that this salamander is northern in its distri- 

 bution. Cope records it from West Virginia, 

 Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, New York, Ver- 

 mont and Canada; De Kay from Albany and 

 Peru, Clinton County, New York. The Long 

 Island specimen was discovered under a board in 

 a slightly moist depression near the road about 

 half way between Montauk and Montauk Point, a 

 locality abounding in swamps, ponds and small 

 streams. It measures four inches in length, there- 

 fore not fully grown, and in color during life 

 was above glossy black with numerous light- blue 

 blotches and spots; below grayish to lead-colored. 

 During four months of captivity the specimen fed 

 sparingly on meal worms. In alcohol the ground 

 color has changed to olive-brown and the blotches 

 and spots have faded into buff. A wax cast, with 

 natural colors restored, has been prepared. 



AMBLY STOMA TIGBINUM (Green). 

 (Tiger Salamander.) 



Reported by William L. Sherwood from Ran- 

 cocas, L. I., but this no doubt should read Rancocas, 

 N. J., as there is no such place on Long Island. 



Raymond L. Ditmars refers to this species as 

 "occasionally found on Long Island." 



No specimens or specific data are at hand. 



Information regarding this species, as well as other 



salamanders from Long Island, would be much 



appreciated.
