Pelonectes boscai, Lat. Bottger [see Zool. Rec. xvi. Rept. p. 17] having 
stated that both Peters and himself considered P. boscai as a variety of 
Triton palmatus, lija.t3.stG publishes a very polemical reply. He observes 
that those naturalists who do not choose to devote some of their time to 
the study of Newts in their living state, and in all the changes they 
undergo with age, sex, and season, are not able to distinguish properly 
these Urodeles, nor to perceive the true affinities between the species.
