_Coluber vulpinus_ (B. and G.). The range of the fox snake, as given by Cope (Rept. U. S. Nat. Mus., ’98, p. 832) is “over the northwest 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. 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 _erythrogaster_. It may be possible that the young of these two sub-species are not distinguishable—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 sirtalis_ (Linn.). Columbus. _Eutaenia sirtalis ordinata_ (Linn.). Columbus. _Eutaenia sirtalis obscura_ Cope. Cedar Point and Columbus. Fam. CROTALIDÆ. _Ancistrodon contortrix_ (Linn.). Sugar Grove and Knox County. _Sistrurus catenatus catenatus_ (Raf.). Urbana. Fam. TRIONYCHIDÆ. _Aspidonectes spinifer_ (LeSueur.). Columbus. Fam. KINOSTERNIDÆ. _Aromochelys odoratus_ (Lat.). Columbus and Cedar Point. In May and June, numbers of this turtle have been taken in the sand on Cedar Point, while depositing their eggs. Fam. EMYDIDÆ. _Graptemys geographicus_ (LeSueur.). Columbus, also taken at Sandusky. _Chrysemys marginata_ (Agassiz). Columbus and Cedar Point. The species picta does not occur in central Ohio—at least west of Licking Reservoir. One specimen has the normal three dorsal plates broken up into six which alternate with each other, three being on either side of the median line. _Clemmys guttatus_ (Sch.). Columbus and Licking Reservoir. _Emydoidea blandingi_ Holb. Columbus and Sandusky. _Terrapene carolina_ (Linn.). Very numerous at Sugar Grove. Found in sand on Cedar Point.
