3. Eutainia sirtalis, var. dorsalis, Baird and Girard. 



Common Garter Snake. Length, 32 inches. 

 Taken along the river front in Chester. This snake had been 

 observed for some time in the neighborhood. It had the rep- 

 utation of having stolen several young chickens during the 

 summer. In captivity it swallowed a small snake (Storeria 

 Dekayi) kept in the same box. 



4. Eutainia sirtalis, var. dorsalis. 



A smaller specimen of the same species. Length, about 14 

 inches. It was captured in April, 1892, while swimming 

 along the bottom of a shallow meadow stream in Ridley 

 township, and evidently pursuing minnows. It attempted to 

 escape by burying itself in the mud, beneath the water. It 

 was certainly quite at home in the water.
