THE REPTILES OF OHIO 



109 



The range of the copperhead in Chio is essentially in the unglaciated part 

 of the state (Map 26). LocaUties outside of this area are in or near the 

 valleys of large streams flowing into the unglaciated counties, or in habitats 

 similar in many respects to those in that part of the state. Baird and Girard 

 (1853, 18) record two specimens in the National Museum from Cleveland 

 sent to that institution by Dr. Kirtland. While copperheads may have 

 occurred in the vicinity of that city, careful search in recent years has failed 

 to reveal any. It is possible the specimens may have been erroneously credited 

 to this locality. Locality records are:
