Batrachia—Mr. Stejneger reports a blind Salamander from Rock 
House Cave, Missouri. This is one of the most interesting herpetological 
events of recent years, since it is the first and only blind form among the 
true salamanders. Mr. Stejneger considers it a new genus of the family 
Desmognathide, and gives a preliminary description of it under the 
name Typhlotrition speleus, in the Proceeds. U.S. Natl. Mus., Vol. XV.
