Excerpt from The Skeletal System of Necturus Maculatus Rafinesque
Anatomically and structurally considered, the choice of an animal to represent the Urodela should be either that of a highly specialized one, thus emphasizing those charac ters which are essentially Urodelan; or that of one taken from the most primitive group, which would have the two advantages of showing each organ in its simplest condition, and of suggesting the phylogenetic origin and relationship of the entire order.
