were noted during August and September and 

 until October 11th, when one example was seen. 

 In 1910 they were noted from May 22d to Septem- 

 ber 11th. In 1911, 1912, and 1913 they were found 

 in July and August, in very small numbers com- 

 pared with Menticirrhus saxatilis, which continued 

 abundant. 



Young and half grown examples of Menti- 

 cirrhus saxatilis are common in the Inlet during 

 summer, but I have never identified any but full 

 grown specimens of Menticirrhus americanus. It 

 is probable that the latter spawn here, however, as 

 the females frequently contain large and mature 



ovaries.

FOUR-TOED SALAMANDER ON 

 LONG ISLAND 



Two specimens of the Eour-toed Salamander 

 (Hemidactylium scutatum ) were collected a year 

 apart at the same small pool in a second-growth 

 woods at Jamaica North. They were found by 

 tearing the moss apart that grew at the base of 

 some dead trees that were just at the edge of the 



pool.
