Mr. E. D. Cope has reviewed the genera and species of Pletho- 
dontid(R and Desmognathidcs ; he characterizes the genera, de- 
scribes the less-known species, and adds their synonymy (Proc. 
Ac. Nat. Sc. Philad. 1869, pp. 93-118). The arrangement of 
Plethodontid(B followed by him is the following : — 
Sect. I. Plethodontce. Tongue attached from the central or posterior pe- 
dicel to the anterior margin in narrower or wider band. 
A. Two premaxillary bones. 
1. Digits 4-6 ; Plethodon, with five species. 
2. Digits 4-4 : HemidactyKumj with one species. 
B. One premaxillary. 
3. Digits 4-4 : Batrachoseps, with three species (R. nigriventrUy sp. n., p. 98,
