COMPOSITION OF THE DOUGLAS LAKE FAUNA. 



The composition of the herpetological fauna of the Douglas Lake 

 region may be seen from the following table which compares the intra- 

 state distribution of the several species known to occur in the Northern 

 Peninsida of Michigan, the Douglas Lake region and the Saginaw Bay 

 region. This table (table 1) is compiled from Ruthven (1911 a), 

 Ruthven, Thorn j)son and Thompson (1912), Thompson and Thompson 

 (1912), Evans (191.5) and Gaige (1915), together with the annotated 

 list of the present paper. All of the species reported from the three 

 regions mentioned above are included in this table regardless of their 

 occurrence in the Douglas I>ake region. In order to contrast the 

 northern and southern raiige of the species listed, the presence or 

 absence of each species in southern Michigan, i. e., south of the Grand 

 and Saginaw Rivers, is indicated in the first column.
