Marbled Salamander 



Photographs by R. W. Shufeldt. M. D. 



The interesting specimen of the 

 marbled salamander, Ambly-stoma opa- 

 cum, on which these notes were made 

 was taken September 6th, 1920, midway 

 between the Ohio and Chesapeake Canal 

 and the Potomac River, about three 



miles above Cabin John. Maryland. It 

 was from general appearances a very 

 healthy and sturdy specimen and beauti- 

 fully marked. It agrees with the speci- 

 men described by Dr. Shufeldt 

 (Aquatic Life. Vol. II. pp. 113-114),
