J. Rogers - 1941 Mrs. Vert. Zool., Univ. Cal., Berkeley Aug. 27 Acc. 6636 (cont.) gradually to a color darker than Chestnut-Brown (Pl. XIV, 11', L). Belly Drabber Drab (Pl L1, 1'''), ventral side of both tail lights, near Light Drabber Drab. As I stroked the salamander on the back it secreted a slime that, spread over by the stroking, made the surface glossy. On the tail, the secretion was much more rapid, and formed in droplets of milky (slightly) substance. This specimen was loaned to Frank Peabody for recording of its trackway. It escaped in his basement and was found dead and drying in a dusty corner. He put it into some full strength (95%?) denatured alcohol & brought it in to me. It was badly shriveled. It was then put in water for 6 hrs, 50% alcohol (1 pt.) to glycerine (1 pt.) for 10 hrs and then into 65% alcohol for storage. It expanded back about to normal, but looks rather rough. Mrs. Vert.
