Dicamptodon tenebrosus (Baird and Girard) (coastal giant salamander)

Comment: Rumors of gigantic salamanders up to eight feet long in caves and wells in Trinity County have never been sub¬ 
stantiated (Graham, 1960b). It is conceivable that these are exaggerated reports of this species, which may reach 14 inches 
in length.
