vius types (prob. species), plus skinks, toads
and a Sceloporus-like grey lizard which
I collected none of. The forest was almost
exclusively pine except for occasional deciduous
trees which were invariably covered with thick
moss + ferns. There were fallen logs strewn
everywhere, many of which appeared partially
burnt. The ground was covered with thick
sphagnum type moss, a tougher compacter moss,
and low (1") leaved green plants.

The ground was flat. All was covered with
a top layer of pine needles. The ground was
smooth in places, interrupted by rock outcroppings
and low rocky hills. Salamanders were found
under logs, under bark on logs, under bark on
stumps, and inside rotten logs. Both types were
found together in the second and third situations.
Only the unstriped type was found in the first
situation, and only the striped, web-footed type was
found in the fourth. In the first situation only
once were two salamanders found together under
the same log, a large and a small individual.
All specimens were collected in an
approximately 3 hr. period and within a 200 ft. radius
circle.
