Nevertheless, lateral-line organs are not present in all aquatic Amphibia, and here the immediate history of any one form may be of great significance. Thus they are not present in the aquatic toads Pseudis or Calyptocephalus nor in the caecilian Typhlonectes (Escher, 1925). The latter, although thoroughly aquatic, probably had fossorial ancestors. They are found in the larvae of Salamandra atra which live their whole.
