17. Storeria occipitomaculata (Storer). Red-bellied snake. — Only 

 two specimens of the red-bellied snake were taken — both on the pine 

 ridges of Sand Point. One of these, taken on August 1, had large 

 eggs in the oviducts. The number of specimens taken does not 

 necessarily indicate the abundance in view of the small size and 

 secretive habits of the species. 



18. Liopeltis vernalis (De Kay). Green snake. — The green snake 

 was only observed on Sand Point, where several specimens were seen 

 but only one secured. This specimen, an adult female, was taken 

 in the woods on a low sandy ridge on the south side of the Point. 

 The scutellation is as follows: dorsals 15, supralabials 7. infralabials 

 8, oculars 2-2, temporals 1-2, urosteges 71, ventrals 129. Total 

 length 387, tail 115. 



19. Lampropeltis doliatus triangulus (Boie). Milk snake. ^ — The 

 milk snake was a common form throughout the region studied.
