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.
