Mud Eel
(Siren lacertina).
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.


"A youthful eel resided in a tiny tidal
He was 1.-the as gutta -percha. and as
From his actions ard contractions he
appeared to be fool
But his virtue was completely undeniable."
-Carryl.
IN THE South Atlantic and Gulf
States, mud eelS are numerous.
They are really eel-like salaman-
i ders with permanent gills. They
measure about 2l2 feet in length, have
no hind legs, and never seem to grow
up.
The long slender eel-shape is the
reason this amphibian was so named.
1t seeks the shallow ponds, the swamps,
even the bitches and all other muddy
places it can find. Mud, only mud
is its demand, for it cannot get along
without this soft substance.
1t is known as permanent larva
and has some well-developed charac-
teristics of an adult. The youthful or
larval features that the mud eel per-
sists in manifeSting are three pairs of
glllS and tiny eyes without lids. When
gazing at you, the mud-dWeller seems
to wink, rather startling thing
when you know how self-effacing this
creature is. But knowing that lidless
eyes have to close somehow and in
doing so they give the impression of
winking, you know this eel has no
flirtatious habits whatsoever.
The first thought you have when
you see the eel Wriggling through the
thick vegetation is that it seems to be
having rather tough time. But the
stream-line body, ably assisted by the
pair of sturdy front legs, gathers speed
if it is considered wise to hasten along.
Unless you are well-acquainted with
the Wiles and the ways of this mud
eel, you are not aware of its presence

typical batrachians to which they be-
long and have lost their hind legs
entirely. So they have been a long
time in their present position. Their
way of breathing is unusual also. In
their extreme youth, their gills disap-
pear as they do in all respectable
batrachians, when the members begin
to reach adulthood But the mud eels
redevelop their gills, and the grown
ups have fish-hke appearance, which
they do not have at an earlier stage.
AS these harmless creatures have no
economic Importance, little has been
done to check up on their marital
life. They have no teeth to bite you,
and seem to need for their purposes
only horny sheath to cover their
toothless jaws. So here is an oppor-
tunity to do some original research.
You can never know what you will
uncover.
