The topography of the cloaca and cloacal glands of the adult male inTriturus cristatus carnifexLaur. is described. The different morphological macroscopic characteristics shown by the cloacal glands proper, the pelvic gland, and the abdominal gland, are recorded. Brief mention is made of a constant feature, representing a valve found at the passage of the cloacal tube (Urodaeum) into the clocal chamber (Proctodaeum). The valve is built up of a conspicuous ridge rising from the dorsal aspect of the cephalic end of the cloacal papilla, and the caudal end of a prominent longitudinal fold projecting from the mid-ventral wall of the cloacal tube.
