 7. RANA CANTABRIGENSIS Baird. 



This species is common in pools adjoining wooded areas. They 

 were also seen in large numbers along the railroad right of way in 

 the springtime. The adults of this species are easily distinguished 

 while floating at full length upon the surface of the water. 



8. RANA CATESBEIANA Shaw. 



Specimens of the bullfrog were taken in company with Rana 

 clamitans from an old open well in a swamp. The characteristic 

 call of this species was heard during the spring of 1913. From the 

 few specimens taken and the absence of previous records from the 

 Northern Peninsula the bullfrog is probably a rare species in Gogebic 

 County. 



2 specimens, 70 and 100 mm., September 6, 1913, Nos. 51931-51932. 



9. BUFO AMERICANUS Le Conte. 



This toad is common in Gogebic County, and many specimens 

 were seen along the roads and in gardens from April to October. 

 1 specimen, 70 mm.", September 2, 1913, No. 51926.

3 specimens, September, 1913, Nos. 51918-51920. 



11. STORERIA OCCIPITOMACULATA (Storer). 



The red-beUied snake was found a common species in Gogebic 

 County. Of three specimens taken, one was captured under a log 

 and the others were taken in the open field. 



1 specimen, 270 mm,, September 27, 1913, No. 51922. 



1 specimen, 230 mm.. May 9, 1914, No. 51921.

/ 12. CHRYSEMYS BELLII (Gray). 



Descriptions were given the writer of turtles from ponds near 

 Wakefield, which make the presence of painted turtles in Gogebic 

 County certain. Since O. hellii is very closely related to O. cinerea 

 (Bonnaterre), a species common in the Southern Peninsula, the 

 species found in Gogebic County was not determined. It is listed 

 here as Q. hellii since that species has been recorded from the adjoin- 

 ing county on the north, Ontonogan, by Ruthven.*
