Amphibia \Am*phib"i*a\, n. pl. [See Amphibium.] (Zo["o]l.) One of the classes of vertebrates.
Note: The Amphibia are distinguished by having usually no scales, by having eggs and embryos similar to those of fishes, and by undergoing a complete metamorphosis, the young having gills. There are three living orders: (1) The tailless, as the frogs ( Anura); (2) The tailed ( Urodela), as the salamanders, and the siren group ( Sirenoidea), which retain the gills of the young state (hence called Perennibranchiata) through the adult state, among which are the siren, proteus, etc.; (3) The C[oe]cilians, or serpentlike Amphibia ( Ophiomorpha or Gymnophiona), with minute scales and without limbs. The extinct Labyrinthodonts also belonged to this class. The term is sometimes loosely applied to both reptiles and amphibians collectively.
