Order OPHIDIA. 



11. Storeria dekayi (Holbr.). De Kay's Snake. 



Recorded from Tyree Springs in Dr. Yarrow's list of Reptilia and 

 Batrachia in the U. S. National Museum. 



12. Diadophis punctatus (L. ). Ring Snake. 



Yarrow (1. c.) records it from Tyree Springs and Troost includes 

 it in his list. 



13. Virginia valeric Bd. Gir. Valeria's Snake. 

 Yarrow's list names a specimen from Tyree Springs. 



14. ? Agkistrodon atrofuscus (Troost). Highland Moccasin. 

 So far, the specific peculiarities of this snake depend solely on the 



statements of its describer. I saw or heard nothing of such a snake 

 that did not apply to A. contortrix. It is not impossible that the 

 animal may be rediscovered but the probabilities are strongly against 

 it. The type came from Maury County, Tenn. 



15. Crotalophorus catenatus (Raf.). Massasauga Rattlesnake. 

 Troost includes the " Crotalus miliarius Lin.," in his list of Ten- 

 nessee Reptiles, undoubtedly referring to this species, which repre- 

 sents miliarius in the Mississippi Valley. 



Order ANURA. 



16. Scaphiopus holbrooki (Harlan). Spadefoot Toad. 

 This is the 8. solitarius of Troost's list. 



17. Hyla versicolor Le C. Common Tree Frog. 

 Specimens from Roane, Claiborne, and Shelby counties are recorded 



in Yarrow's list. Troost also gives it. 



Order URODELA. 



18. Diemyctylus viridescens (Raf. ) Spotted Triton. 

 This is the " Triton dorsalis Harl." of Troost's list, 



Typical viridescens undoubtedly replaces the race meridionalis in 

 middle and east Tennessee and is the form referred to by Troost, 

 whose researches were chiefly devoted to the region around Nash- 

 ville. 



19. Spelerpes longicaudus (Green). Long-tailed Salamander. 

 The "Salamandra longe caudata" of Troost's catalogue refers to 



this species. See also, Batr. N. Amer. 1889, p. 170. 



20. Spelerpes guttolineatus (Holbr. ). Holbrook's Triton. 

 Another species admitted on Troost's authority.
