lighter Hue is scarcely perceptible. The three occipital spots, and that 

 on the labials, are distinct. 



Another variety is seen in a specimen ironi Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, 

 where, in addition to the coloration just mentioned, the vertebral stripe 

 is light chestnut, contrasting strongly with the ground-color. 



Another specimen which I found at Johnsonburg, Elk County, Penn- 

 sylvania, in a rugged region, is a very dark brown with the dorsal band 

 obscure and thennder surfaces black. The throat aiul chin are whitish, 

 and the black is darkest in a row of spots on each side of a dozen 

 anterior gastrosteges.

This small snake is generally distributed in the Eastern and Austro- 

 riparian regions, having about the same range as the S. delayi. It 

 extends south also to Vera Cruz, Mexico. It is less common in the 

 United States than the ^. deJiai/i, but I have found it more abundant in 

 western Massachusetts. Like its congener, it is entirely inoftensive, 

 and is found on the ground and in the woods in dry places.
