SALAMANDERS AND THEIR YOUNG

This color film shows that during the spring and summer salamanders are found along the banks of streams in woody areas. Small ponds with an abundance of algae are good collecting places for amphibians. Eggs are found in damp situations under stones, while many others are laid in the water. Young larvae break out from the egg capsule and take up an independent existence. Gillis and legs appear and the salamander takes on the adult form. The salamanders seen are Jefferson's spotted, slimy, dusky, red, two-lined, the newt and the mud puppy.
