“Semiaquatic. The first one taken was seen by Bequaert sunning on a fallen 
tree over a brook, into which it dropped on being disturbed, but he caught it 
with his net. Later we caught a number along the edges of shallow brooks in 
the forest. They would walk along the shallow bottom near the shore with their 
heads out of water, but on being frightened, scrambled out and tried to escape 
on land.”’
