Eighteen species of ampliibians and twenty-six of reptiles are 

 recorded from the entire State of Michigan.* Of this number 13 of 

 the amphibians and 6 of the reptiles have been found in the North- 

 ern Peninsula of Michigan, and one species of amphibian, Rana cateshe- 

 iana, is added to the fauna of the Northern Peninsula by the present 

 collection. The four species of amphibians found in the Southern 

 Peninsula thus far not reported from the Northern Peninsula are 

 Ambystoma tigrinum Green, Nedurus tmicuIosus Rafinesque, Amby- 

 stoma maculatum (Shaw), and Acris gryJlus LeConte. The reptiles 

 are represented by fewer species in the Northern Peninsula than in 

 the Southern, but five of the twenty-six species reported from the 

 entire State having been recorded from the Northern. The relation 

 of the ampliibian and reptile fauna of Gogebic County to that of the 

 entire Northern Peninsula may be seen in the following table.
