304 Mr. G. A. Boulenger on 



Tylototriton Andersoni, sp. n. 

 Palatine series of teeth originating a little in front of the 

 choangs, close together and parallel in front, then slightly 

 diverging, parallel again in the middle, strongly diverging 

 behind. Tongue oval, free on the sides and slightly behind, 

 rather large, its width half that of the mouth. Head as 

 broad as long 5 snout obtusely acuminate, the lateral outline 

 of the head subtriangular ; a rather feeble obtuse ridge along 

 the canthus rostralis and the fronto-squamosal arch ; eye 

 moderate ; no labial lobes ; a short but very prominent paro- 

 toid gland. Body twice and a half length of head, much 

 depressed, closely covered witli prominent warts of unequal 

 size ; vertebral ridge prominent ; a series of 14 knob-like 

 glands on each side, the tenth above the hind limb ; some of 

 these warts pierced by the extremity of the rib, as in Molge 

 {Pleurodeles) Waltlii. A transverse gular fold. Limbs 

 moderate ; fingers and toes very short, depressed ; fifth toe 

 shortest, almost rudimentary; the hind limb stretched for- 

 wards reaches the elbow of the adpressed fore limb. Tail 

 sharp-edged above and below, but without distinct crests, 

 ending in an obtuse point ; its length exceeding that of head 

 and body. Black above and below ; palms and soles and 

 lower edge of tail orange.

A single specimen, which I suppose to be a female. 



This species is named after Dr. J. Anderson, to whom 

 science is indebted for the discovery of the remarkable newt 

 on which he established the genus Tylototriton in 1871. 

 It is easily distinguished from T. verrucosus in the triangular 

 instead of semielliptical outline of the head, the less deve- 

 loped cranial ridge, the larger tongue, the shorter digits, and 

 the rudimentary condition of the fifth toe. 



XXXVII. — On the Larva o/" Molge Montandoni. 

 By G. A. Boulenger. 



Molge Montandoni is one of the few European newts the 

 larva of which is still undescribed. Having been favoured
