 8. Reptiles and amphibians (H. T. G.) 



In the Canadian conifer forest on 

 Isle Royale are found the toad (Bufo 

 americanus} , the wood-frog (Rana con- 

 tabrigensis) and the red-bellied snake 

 (Storeria occipitomaculata] , while in 

 streams and lakes the mudpuppy (Nec- 

 turus maculosus} occurs. The spring 

 peeper (Hyla crucifer}, and the mink- 

 frog (Rana septentrionalis) chiefly live 

 in swamps and streams, as does the com- 

 mon garter-snake (Thamnophis sirtalis). 



In the hardwood forests of the north- 

 ern peninsula are found the wood-frog, 

 toad, spring peeper, common tree-frog 

 (Hyla versicolor}, leopard-frog (Rana 

 pipiens}, mink-frog, red-backed sala- 

 mander (Plethodon cinereus), Jefferson 

 salamander (Ambystoma jeffersonianum} , 

 spotted salamander (Ambystoma macu- 

 latum'), red-bellied snake, fox-snake 

 (Elaphe vulpinus}, green-snake (Liopel- 

 lis vernalis), and ring-necked snake 

 (Diadophis punctatus edwardsii) ; chiefly 

 along the streams and in the swamps are 

 found the green-frog (Rana clamitans) t 

 newt (Triturus viridescens] 4-toed sala- 

 mander (Hemidactylium scutatum), 



water-snake (Natrix sipedori), garter- 

 snake (Thamnophis sirtalis}, pond-turtle 

 (Chrysemys bellii bellii}, snapper (Chely- 

 dra serpentina], and the wood-turtle 

 (Clemmys insculpta). 



In the hardwood forests of the south- 

 ern peninsula occur all the forms listed 

 above except the mink-frog and the 

 pond-turtle. Here also occur the tiger 

 salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum), 

 swamp tree-frog (Pseudacris triseriata), 

 cricket-frog (Acris gryllus], skink 

 (Eumeces fasciatus}, brown snake (Store- 

 ria dekayi], milk-snake (Lampropeltis 

 triangulum), and racer (Coluber c. con- 

 strictor}. Chiefly along streams and in 

 swamps are found the pickerel-frog 

 (Rana palustris), bullfrog (Rana cat- 

 esbeiana), queen-snake (Natrix leberis), 

 garter-snakes (Thamnophis sauritus and 

 T. butleri}, and ground rattlesnake 

 (Sislrurus catenatus), soft-shelled turtle 

 (Amyda spiniferd), musk-turtle 

 (Sternotherus odoratus), spotted turtle 

 (Clemmys gultata), and map-turtle 

 (Graptemys geographica) . The southern 

 pond-turtle (Chrysemys bellii marginata) 

 replaces the form of the northern penin- 

 sula. The Fowler toad (Bufo fowleri) 

 and the hog-nosed snake (Heterodon 

 contortrix) are found chiefly in sand 

 dune areas. 



A number of southern forms enter the 

 southern part of the state. Among 

 these are the black-snake (Elaphe 

 obsoleta), Kirtland snake (Natrix kirt- 

 landii), Blanding turtle (Emys bland- 

 ingii), and box-turtle (Terrapene Caro- 

 lina Carolina).

*Bogardus Tract. 3200 acres. Cut- 

 over and burned-over hardwood and pine 

 land, some swamps, and the shores of 

 several large lakes. Now mostly oc- 

 cupied by second-growth forests. An 

 area typical of the conditions in the 

 region. Cheboygan County, 4 mi.
