Siren intermedia intermedia , Eastern Lesser Siren 
BRUNSWICK CO.: near Sunny Point, 23 April 1977. A specimen 
about 200 mm TL was collected with several individuals of the normal 
phenotype from a borrow pit pond in sandy flatwoods. Its dorsum and 
limbs were yellow, slightly brighter than Straw Yellow (56), and its venter 
was paler but near that color. Its gills were rust colored, between 
Cinnamon-Rufous (40) and Ferruginous (41), and its eyes were red. 
Ambystoma talpoideum, Mole Salamander 
MACON CO.: 22.5 km (14 mi.) wsw of Franklin, 13 December 
1975, NCSM 15961 (21 larvae), 17872 (adult male). Two individuals 
among a series of 22 larvae collected from a floodplain pond were largely 
amelanistic in having the characteristic dark brown and black larval pat- 
terns replaced by pale gray and gray. One (37.0 mm SVL, 70.9 mm TL) 
was preserved with the typical specimens shortly after capture. The other, 
reared in the laboratory, was examined and preserved on 29 May 1977 as 
an adult (58.0 mm SVL, 100 mm TL). It was pale gray and translucent 
with many blood vessels and some internal organs visible through the 
skin. The parotid area and the dorsum of the tail were whitish due to 
clustered poison glands. The eyes were gray with dark pupils. 
Eurycea bislineata cirrigera, Southern Two-lined Salamander 
NEW HANOVER CO.: 5.6 km (3.5 mi.) n of Carolina Beach, 
March 1971, NCSM 10072. A female (40.0 mm SVL, 91.0 mm TL), 
collected with several individuals of the normal phenotype under leaves 
in a moist ditch, had a pinkish dorsum and venter with a network of un- 
derlying blood vessels visible through the skin. The sides of the head and 
upper tail had faint brown lines, and the middorsum of the tail was pale 
yellow. The eyes were brassy with dark pupils. 
Bufo woodhousei fowleri, Fowler’s Toad 
WAKE CO.: Raleigh, June 1965, NCSM 3884. This specimen (34.5 
mm SVL) had translucent pinkish skin and dark blue eyes with reddish 
pupils. Color transparencies from life are in NCSM. 
Reptilia 
Chelydra serpentina serpentina, Common Snapping Turtle 
DAVIE CO.: 12 August 1978. The Taylorsville Times, 17 August 
1978, contained a very clear photograph of a 16-pound albino caught in a 
farm pond by Jerry Petrea. From color photographs provided by Jerry 
and Riley Petrea, the carapace was pale yellowish brown with dark 
brown sutures. The head, limbs, and tail were slightly paler with scattered 
brown markings, and the eyes were yellowish with light green pupils.
