Letter: Wrongly reptile

Published 6 June 1998

From Fredrik Kalmar

Jonathan Knight suggests that the Texas blind salamander is descended from lizards
(“Busy doing nothing”, 25 April, p 32).

Now that would really be worth an article of its own, since salamanders are
amphibians and lizards are reptiles.
