 Portland Society of Natural History, prepared a catalogue of all 

 the Reptiles and Amphibians found in the State, which was pub- 

 lished originally in the Proceedings of the Society. It is now 

 reproduced with notes upon their distribution, and a revision of 

 the nomenclature of the Frogs, Toads and Salamanders, by Mr.
