Fam. ColubridyE. 
Carphophiops amoenus (Say.)- This specimen is marked C. helenae 
Kenn. The internasal scutae are wanting. The specimen is from 
Meigs Co. Another specimen is in the collection but without label. 
Diadophis punctatus (L. ) Sugar Grove. 
Heterodon platyrhinus Lat. Cedar Point. Both the spotted and 
the black forms occur on Cedar Point. 
Liopeltis vernalis (DeKay.). Sandusky and Columbus. 
Zcimenis constrictor (Linn.). Hocking County. 
Coluber vulpinus (B. and G.). The range of the fox snake, as 
given by Cope (JEtept. U. S. Nat. Mus., ’98, p. 832) is “over the north- 
west of the Eastern district, not being known from east of Illinois***.” 
Specimens are taken from Cedar Point and vicinity nearly every 
summer. Those in the collection are from Castalia and Cedar Point. 
Coluber obsoletus obsoletus Say r . Columbus. 
Osceola doliata triangula (Boie.). Columbus and London. 
Natrix fasciata fasciata (Linn.). Warren County. 
Natrix fasciata sipedon (Linn.). This is the common “water 
snake” of central Ohio. Specimens are from Sandusky and Columbus. 
Natrix fasciata erythrogaster (Shaw.) Put-in-Bay. Among the 
islands of Lake Erie this seems to be the prevailing form. One 
young Natrix was taken during the summer of 1900 which resembled 
N f. sipedon L., but aside from this all other forms were erythro- 
gaster. It may be possible that the young of these two sub-species 
are not distiuquishable — the differences arising later. 
Natrix leberis (Linn.). Columbus and Sandusky. 
Natrix kirtlandii (Kenn.). New London and Sugar Grove. 
Storeria dekayi (Holb.). Columbus. 
Storeria occipitomaculata (Storer). Sugar Grove and Kent.

Eutaenia sirtalis ordinata (Linn.). Columbus. 
Eutaenia sirtalis obscura Cope. Cedar Point and Columbus.
