. Natural history. Zoology. NEWTS AND SALAMANDERS. 447 members of the same genus. This species is a somewhat solitary and slug- gish creature, spending most of the year on land, but resorting to th.e water during the spring, when breeding takes place. Usually the young are born alive, but occasionally eggs are laid, when they almost immediately hatch. A large number of tadpoles come into the world at once, and these, in the ordinary mode of development, have already lost their gills. Formerly, highly poisonous properties were attributed to this salamander—as they, doubtless, still are among the uneducated peasantry of various parts of Europe, —and the creature was believed to be capable of being cast into a furnace without suflering harm. Beyond secreting an acrid fluid, it is, how- ever, perfectly harmless. The range of this species includes a considerable part of Europe, as well as Syria and Algeria. Nearly allied is the somewhat smaller black salamander (iS. atra) of the Alps. Although many eggs may be found in the body of the female, it appears that only a pair of tadpoles are produced, these being nourished by the eggs which never develop. While within the Body of the parent, these tadpoles have very long external gills, which are shed previous to birth. Many years ago some tadpoles in the gilled condition were taken from the parent and placed in water. Almost immediately the large gills were cast off, and their place taken by much smaller ones, which remained for a long period. As remarked by Professor Mivart, "the curious and noteworthy point in this exjjeriment is the fact that, after the original gills (which were unadapted for free external life (have perished, new and suitable gills become developed, and this not in a struggle for existence against rivals, but directly and spontaneously from the innate nature of the animal." The third and last species is /S. caucasica, from the Caucasus, which differs from the other two in that the tail is sh
