 extremities are clouded yellow. 



Dimensions. Length of head to anterior extremities, 1 inch 2 lines; of body 

 to vent, 2i inches; of tail, SJ inches; total length, 7 inches. 



Habits. This animal, at first sight, appears to be somewhat allied to the 

 Salamandra venenosa in the general arrangement of its colours, but it is found, 

 on closer examination, to be widely different, as may be seen in their respective 

 descriptions, by which one will be found to be a land, and the other a water animal. 



Geographical Distribution, This species of Salamander inhabits the northern 

 states from New Jersey to Massachusetts. 



General Remarks. This animal is also one of those observed and accurately 

 described by Professor Green.
