53S PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [Aug., 



A COLLECTION OF EEPTILES AND BATKACHIANS FEOM ARKANSAS, 

 INDIAN TERRITORY AND WESTERN TEXAS. 



BY WITMER STONE. 



During the months of March and April, 1903, Dr. Henry A. Pilsbry 

 made a zoological reconnaissance in the Ozark Moimtain region of 

 southwestern Missouri and southern Arkansas, visiting also parts of 

 Indian Territory and Texas, in the interests of the Academy. Among 

 the material collected on the trip is an interesting series of reptiles 

 and batrachians, which it has been my privilege to study and of 

 which I herewith present a list. 



While none of the forms appear to be new, the appended records are 

 of much interest as a contribution to our knowledge of the distribu- 

 tion of species in a region which has been but little explored. I have 

 also added notes on such individual variations as the specimens pre- 

 sent, and in the case of .the serpents have recorded the number of the 

 caudals and ventrals in the largest and best preserved specimens, 

 which may prove of value in studying the relationship of closely 

 allied geographic races.
