The following paper was presented : — 



Catalogue of the Keptiles and Batrachians found in the 

 Vicinity of Norway, Oxford Co., Me. By A. E. Verrill. 



The following catalogue is intended to afford some additional 

 data concerning the geographical distribution of our animals ; 

 and since we have in Maine, as I have in another place shown,* at 

 least in respect to the birds, two faunae, — the Canadian, in the 

 northern and eastern parts of the State, and the AUeghanian, 

 in the southern and central, — it is of great importance to ascertain 

 with the utmost care the exact range of all the species, and also their 

 relative abundance at different places. In this list I have endeavored 

 to embody all the facts of this kind ascertained from personal obser- 

 vation, during a residence of several years, concerning the locality, 

 adding in a few instances observations made by others, which 

 are in each case acknowledged. 



It is not probable that any additional species will be found, except 

 two or three Salamanders, and possibly another Hylodes; but 

 several other species occur in the south-western part of the State, 

 York and Cumberland Counties, such as the Black Snake (Basca- 

 nion constrictor B. & G.), Box Turtle (Cistudo virginea), and a few 

 more, which do not appear to extend so far northward as Norway.
