Photograph of a typical habitat ol Desmognathus fusca, as it appears in late autumn, when the water in the little brook is for the most part covered with fallen leaves, which serve as a protection to both the larvae and the adults. terrestrial even during its larval life, while the extreme is reached in the case of Antodax hignbris, reported by Ritter and Miller ('99) to be practically arboreal throughout its entire life. Desmognathus fusca is terrestrial to the extent that it lives in and upon moist earth, where it mates and lays its eggs, and.
