184 ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



AMBLYSTOMID^. 

 Amblystoma Jeffersonianum, var. latérale. Hall. 



Seems to be very rare, for, though industriously sought after, was 

 collected at but one station, Grand River. Heard of at a few points. 



Common in New Brunswick, where, as in Gaspé, the type is larger, 

 the body longer in proportion to the head, the legs, too, relatively 

 shorter, anal groove wanting, and pelvic and caudal folds well 

 represented. 



Not observed on P.E. Island, nor reported from Nova Scotia. 



A. punctatum, L. Great Spotted Salamander. 



No specimen seen, but its unique and conspicuous colour pattern 

 cannot be confounded with that of any of our salamanders, and hence it 

 is easily known from descriptions. Heard of at a few points in the 

 peninsula. 



Common in the Maritime provinces. 



SNAKES. 



Coluber vernalis, De Kay. Green Snake. 



Observed at several points on the peninsula. All through the 

 Maritime provinces. 



G. sirlalis, Hobb. Spotted Snake. 



Occasionally met with in Gaspé. Common also in the Maritime 

 provinces.
