THE AMERICAN NATURALIST [Vol. XL 



Rana virgatipes Cope. — All of the specimens of this interesting 

 frog that have been captured, are, so far as I am aware, in the 

 Academy's collection and have been fully reported upon by H. 

 W. Fowler.^ They are all from the New Jersey pine barrens; 

 the one obtained by the writer was from Speedwell, Burlington 

 Co. 



Carphophiops amoenus (Say ). — Obtained in Chester and York 

 Cos., Pa., and Pt. Pleasant, Beesley's Point (Ashmead ), Trenton 

 (Abbott), and Bridgeton (Walmsley ), X. J. 



Virginia valerise Baird & Ciraud. — One specimen is in the 

 Academy collection from Delaware received from C. Drexler. 



Storeria occipitomaculata (Storer). — A common snake through- 

 out the mountains south of the Pocono plateau and east of the 

 Alleghanies. I have only seen one example which I captured in 

 the New Jersey pine barrens on the edge of Bear Swamp, east of 

 Medford. This record is interesting as in the same vicinity we 

 find Evotomys, a northern rodent, common in the mountains, but 

 absent in the intervening territory. 



Storeria dekayi (Holbrook). — A rather common snake in 

 southeastern Pennsylvania; also obtained at May's Landing, 

 N. J., and doubtless of wider distribution in both States. 



Clonophis kirtlandi (Kennicott ).— Two examples from the 

 region under consideration are in the Academy collection; one 

 obtained near Trenton, N. J., by Dr. C. C. Al)i)()tt, the otlier in 

 Delaware Co., Pa., by E. Dutton. 



Tropidoclonium lineatum Hallowell.— A snake was obtained 

 at Hound Island, Clinton Co., Pa., by Seth Nelson collecthig for 

 Mr. S. X. Rhoads, which he identified as this species. I exam- 

 ined it at the time and I have no doubt as to the correctness of 

 the identification. Unfortunatelv the specimen cannot now be 

 fouiKl. 



Thamnophis sauritus (Liiiiu'' Tliis is a rather coniinoii snake 



wood Lake. X. ,f., but not as yet from the main Alleuliiuiv range. 

 Thamnophis sirtalis (Ivinn^ ).— The Garter Snake is distributed
