 | | Instead, amphibian eggs are protected only by mucoid capsules that are highly permeable; thus, amphibian eggs must develop in moist situations. | | | The living groups of amphibians are most closely allied with diverse fossils, the basal tetrapod vertebrates commonly placed in the class Amphibia. | | | The most generalized are salamanders, order Caudata (= with tail), having a cylindrical body, long tail, distinct head and neck, and usually well-developed limbs of approximately equal length. |

| Â | AMPHIBIA |
| | Huxley, in the ninth edition of this Encyclopaedia, treated of Brongniart's Batrachia, under the designation Amphibia, but this use of the word has not been generally accepted. | | | Cuvier went no further than Brongniart, and, in the Regne Animal, he dropped the term Amphibia, and substituted Reptilia for it. | | | An appeal made by Muller for obser/ations on the development of the Caeciliae, and of those Amphibia which retain gills or gill-clefts throughout life, has unfortunately yielded no fruits. |

| Â | Introduction to the Amphibia |
| | As suggested by their name, which means "double life" in Greek, amphibians spend at least part of their lives in water; some are entirely aquatic. | | | Anyway, the Amphibia include some familiar creatures: the frogs, toads, newts, and salamanders. | | | If you do get warts, please don't sue us. |
