Syntopic occurrence of the erythristic morph of the Eastern Red-backed Salamander (Plethodon cinereus) and the red eft stage of the Eastern Newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) was documented. Pauley et al. (2001) previously reported the occurrence of the erythristic morph at this site in northern Pennsylvania, but were not able to verify the presence of N. viridescens. The erythristic morph was found at the three plots surveyed and represented 35.2% of the P. cinereus counted in this study.
