Lampropeltis getulus (Linnaeus). 

 Chain Snake. 



Mr. W. P. Seal says he has observed it at Tomilson's Mills. 



Lampropeltis doliatus triangulus (Bole). 

 House Snake. 



Mr. Miller says it is common about Plainfield.' He thinks the pre- 

 vailing, if not the exclusive form, is triangulus, as his single pre- 

 served specimen is this rather than clericus. I have not seen his 

 material. 



Heterodon platyrinos (Latreille). 

 Hog Nose Snake. 



Mr. C.' J. Hunt found it at Brown's Mills, in Burlington county, 

 in 1906, and Belle Mountain, in Mercer county, on September of 

 1907. 



Mr. Miller says it is apparently not very common about Plainfield. 



Large example taken at Beverly, in Burlington county, on April 

 2d, 1908, by Mr. Samuel Scovell. This specimen would very readily 

 feign death when irritated or annoyed, by rolling over on its back, 

 relaxing as if dead, and even allowing its tongue to hang out. 



One taken near the head of Millville Lake, in Cumberland county, 

 on May 9th, 1908. It was found in a rather waste, sandy place. It 

 also feigned death after being annoyed. 



Mr. W. P. Seal says he has seen it near Delair and Woodbury. 



Mr. Seiss has it from Bay Head, in Ocean county, and Atlantic 

 City. 



Mr. C. H. Connor secured it at Union Mills, on October llth, 1908.
