May, 1907.] A Collecting Trip North of Sault Ste. Marie.

this species has not been found, although the variety robustus 
(Gir.) is found at Toronto and westward in tributaries of Lake 
Ontario. 
Of course there must be a connection of our new locality with 
the main range of the species. It may go along the northern 
shore of Lake Huron and through eastern Ontario, but partic¬ 
ulars are wanting. A connection through Michigan I think is 
out of the question, since this state as well as northern Indiana 
and northern Ohio are rather well known, so that we may safely 
affirm that it is missing in this, region. Eastern Ontario is very 
poorly known. Thus this species should be searched for in 
Ontario and possibly also in southern Quebec. 
One male, first form, two males, second form, and eight 
females of this species were taken under rocks in rapids in Dam 
Creek on August 9th. The specimens agree in size with spec¬ 
imens of the species from eastern Pennsylvania. One female 
was carrying recently hatched young. One male of C. propin- 
quus was taken at the same place. 
Reptiles and Batrachiaxs. 
But few reptiles were seen. The single turtle taken was the 
only one seen in Canada, and only two garter snakes were seen 
in the Algoma District, and one of these escaped. Frogs were 
exceedingly numerous at certain localities. Rana catesbiana 
was very common at the lower end of Stony Lake where many 
could have been captured easily as they made but little effort to 
escape. The specimens collected were given to Dr. Atkinson 
who has prepared the following notes: 
1. Rana pipiens Schieber. Leopard Frog. This species is 
represented in the collection bv five specimens, collected at 
Heyden, Ontario, Canada. They are all small adults, the col¬ 
oration of which is close to that described as Rana virescens 
brachvcephala by Cope, having no longitudinal band on the 
femur and having the tibial cross bars complete, also yellow 
bordered dorsal spots. However, the head is longer than in 
typical specimens of the variety brachvcephala, and the muzzle 
is as acuminate as in most specimens of the variety R. p. pipiens 
and the size of the spots correspond with the latter variety. The 
measurements in meters are as follows: 
Length of head and body.0464 to .0550 
Length of head to posterior edge of tympanum.0160 to . 0195 
Width of head at posterior edge of tympanum. 0155 to . 0195 
Diameter of tympanum.0035 to .0045 
Diameter of eye.0050 to .0055 
Length of tibia.0255 to .0315 
Length of femur.0220 to .0260 
Length of foot. ... .0260 to .0315
