length (with tail broken) and probably of the previous season’s brood, 
was collected at the same time, but whether in immediate association 
with the adult and eggs was not stated.

Diagnosis. — Size moderate among California salamanders, total 
length up to 162 millimeters (6% inches) ; naso-labial groove devel- 
oped; maxillary and mandibular teeth dagger-like, conspicuous, ex- 
tending beyond commissure of jaws ; temporal muscles swollen ; costal 
folds 12 ; inner digit on each foot small, but not rudimentary ; tail 
somewhat swollen at middle, but not distinctly compressed ; body 
coloration dark reddish brown with scattered small dots (1 mm. or 
less) of pale yellow. 
Comparisons. — Distinguished from other California salamanders 
except Plethodontidae by presence of naso-labial groove; from 
Batrachoseps by larger size, stouter body, greater development of
