This instalment of about four dozen titles represents for the most 

 part the casual and incidental references made to animals of this 

 group by general naturalists, and there is some amount of uncertainty 

 as to species when the references are to ' newts.' The nomenclature, 

 in default of a recent list of the British species, is not according to 

 any particular standard.
