Of that little batrachian. the salamsnder,
described and figured by the ancient
naturslists, Aristotle. Pllny, de Thaun,
Porta, Marco Polo and Browne, as well

The salamsnder Is not an especially at
tractive animal. simply a small amphib-
ian, resembling a lizard, but without
scales, having a moist skin, colored in
spots. or bands Of yellow orange or
brown. In It's early life It has an aquatic
larval stage, but in later life II puts aside
such childish things as gills, and. de-
veloping lungs, becomes air breathing and
behaves like an ordinary reptile. For its
habitat II chooses dark and damp places,
where It leads a quiet, peaceful life, feed
ing on aquatic worms. insects and very
small animals.
one must go back TO the medieval day
for the first reports OF this animal The
ancients all agreed that the salamander
