The form of this species vaiies with its age, the v<'ry old ones being 

 neaily as stont as Amhiistomn itinicttiliim ; more so than A.opacKm. The 

 more immature, however, are rather slender. 



The skin is perfe<!tly smooth and lustrous. There are noindicatiouH of 

 glands .secreting a milky Juice, as in Amblystoma, but the skin is every- 

 wliere beset with shallow ])its, clo.sely set. The eyt^ is »'ncir(ded by a 

 .series of pores. These extend anterior to those on the side of the head 

 to the nostrils, and are nuire crowded. The lower edge of tlio lower 

 jaw is encircled by a single seiie , <»f j)ores, and there are two other 

 series, nearly straight, which start, from the point of the chin and diverge 

 backwards.
