AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES OF THE CHARLES- 
TON REGION 
T. L. HANKINSON, STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, CHARLESTON 
Collections of amphibians and reptiles have accumulated in 
the zoology laboratory of the Eastern Illinois Normal School, 
and some notes have been obtained on representatives of these 
two groups in the region, chiefly in connection with the field 
work necessitated by the teaching of zoology classes. A study 
of the data from these sources has been made, and it seems 
important to print the results of this in the form of an annotat- 
ed list, preliminary to more thorough investigations of the 
amphibians and reptiles of the Charleston region to be made 
in the future. 
Specimens of several species could not be named by the writ- 
er unaided, so they were sent to A. G. Ruthven and Helen 
Thompson Gaige of the University Museum, Ann Arbor, 
Michigan, who identified the specimens. Credit is due them 
for this assistance.

spring just below the Dam on the Embarrass River near
