Occasional Papers of the Museum of Zoology 5 



10. Liopcltis vernolis (DeKay). Green Snake. — Xot un- 

 common in dry, open woods and clearings. 



IT. Thaninophis sirtaJis (Linn.). Garter Snake. — Found 

 in both wet and dry habitats. It was most characteristic, how- 

 ever, of dry clearings on the sand ridges. 



12. Clielydra serpentina (Linn.). Snapping Turtle. — 

 Rather uncommon but not rare. A large female contained 

 thirty-seven eggs. 



13. Ch.rysemys bellii Gray. Bell's Painted Turtle. — Com- 

 mon in the river; a few were observed in large beaver ponds. 

 The single "Specimen collected is so dark that the coloration is 

 obscure, and the plastronal blotch is small as in C. cinerea. 

 However, the blotch extends on the sutures to the edge of the 

 plastron so the specimen is evidently an aberrant C. bellii. 



14. Clev.irnys insciilpta (LeConte). Wood Tortoise. — 

 Apparently not rare. The species is evidently partially aquatic 

 in this region since the eleven specimens secured were all 

 taken in swales or on the marg^in of the river.
