THE BIOLOGY OF THE RED-BACKED SALAMANDER. 333 decaying logs, while Montgomery found them near West Chester, Pa., "at all seasons, never in streams or boggy places, but in woods and hillsides beneath wood and stones, a strictly ter- restrial species," Kingsley, on the other hand, claims "Ple- thodon cinereus is found everywhere in woods, under bark, logs and stone, in comparatively dry ; Miss Whipple speaks of its "being found far from any water ;. Overturning a stone discloses a red-back at home. (Photograph by Dr. Miller.) During a year's study of the species, they have been found in both damp and dry places, within five feet of a pond's edge and on rather dry, high slopes. In the daytime, they are always concealed. In one case, near a spring, a large sawdust pile that contained several planks furnished an abode for several sala- manders. One damp, dark day, when the rain was falling gently, three medium-sized individuals were found on the surface of the ground near stones from beneath which they had evidently come. In the same locality, five were found beneath stones; two were so placed that it seemed as if I had frightened them in before.
