This subspecies is characteristic of the Eastern region. There is 

 considerable doubt whether it enters the Austroripariau fauna. If so, 

 it appears sparingly, and only on the northern borders. Specimen Cat. 

 No. 9008, from Montgomery, Alabama, might be almost as well placed 

 with the N'. /. transversa, as the belly is unspotted, but the anterior 

 half of the body is cross banded as in the N. f. fasciata. Northwardly 

 its range extends into New Brunswick. It is reported by Verrill as 

 common at Norway, Maine.^ It is the common "water snake" of the 

 Middle States.
