Hemidactylium scutatum (Schlegel). 
The only Michigan record for this species is Eaton County, as given 
by Clark 1 . He says : “A. single specimen of this uncommon salamander 
was collected May 13, 1901. It was found in the earth on the roots of 
a violet, which had been pulled up. So far as I can learn, it has not 
previously been collected in Michigan. Four other specimens, two males 
and two females, were taken together in April, 1902, under a log. The 
females were fully twice as large as the males.” 
All five of these specimens (at least five specimens) are still at Olivet 
and have been examined by the Misses Thompson in the preparation of 
their report upon the amphibians of the state. They have also been so 
fortunate as to secure an additional specimen from near Ypsilanti. 
This specimen ( Fig. 1) was received alive from Miss Jessie Phelps, and 
was taken in low wet woods. 
THE FAUNA OF THE DOUGLAS LAKE REGION. 
The museum has received, from the University of Michigan Biological 
Station, a considerable amount of material from the vicinity of Douglas 
Lake in Cheboygan county. No special effort has been made to secure 
specimens of reptiles and amphibians at the station, so that the collection 
does not as yet give us an accurate knowledge of the fauna, of the region. 
It is valuable, however, for the additional data on the intrastate dis- 
tribution of a number of species. The species so far obtained are: 
JVecturm maculosus Raf. 
PI ctli odon cinere us ( Green ) . 
Diemyctilus viridescens Ra’f. 
Amby stoma jeffersonianum (Green) .
