 and fewer than ten infralabials. Scales usually in seventeen, 

 sometimes in nineteen, rows. Gastrosteges fewer than in the 

 more southern races. Coloration very variable, striped, spotted 

 or unicolor, often with some red. Preoculars usually single.

Range. — This garter-snake seems nowhere to range far from 

 the coast. It occurs in southwestern British Columbia, on the 

 mainland and on Vancouver Island, and ranges thence south 

 across Washington and Oregon to the northwestern corner of 

 California, where it seems to be confined to Del Norte County.
