To the Editor of the "Norra-Curna Dairy News."
Sir,—With reference to the note appearing in your paper of June 1, I wish to confirm P. B's. statement that salamanders do exist in China.
In 1908 I bought a live one in Kueiyangfu, province of Kueichow, measuring from tip of nose to end of tail six feet in length, one of the largest I have come across and} m T still have in my possession a photo of. same. The smaller species are very common in both Kueichow and Kuangsi where they are eaten at official feasts as a great delicacy, and when properly served up, they are really good eating.
A I am, etc.
