  From  Webster's  Revised  Unabridged  Dictionary  (1913)  [web1913]: 
 
  Siredon  \Si*re"don\,  n.  [NL.,  from  Gr  ???  a  siren.]  (Zo["o]l.) 
  The  larval  form  of  any  salamander  while  it  still  has  external 
  gills;  especially,  one  of  those  which  like  the  axolotl 
  ({Amblystoma  Mexicanum}),  sometimes  lay  eggs  while  in  this 
  larval  state,  but  which  under  more  favorable  conditions  lose 
  their  gills  and  become  normal  salamanders.  See  also 
  {Axolotl}.
