In the United States the ranges of these animals have in most cases been well worked out and defined. In Canada there have been few students of herpetology and these, for the most part, have been able to devote only a small portion of their time to the subject. However, a large amount of distributional data has accumulated, much from scattered published sources, but most from the collections and records in the Royal Ontario Museum of Zoology and Palaeon- tology. Most of our amphibian and reptilian fauna is in the nature of "overflow" or north- ward extension of forms occurring in the United States, but the northern extremities of their ranges are often ill-defined in United States publications and cited merely as "Canada" or “southern Canada," while some forms ranging into Canada are not so listed. The fact that the amphibians and reptiles of Canada are not generally considered to be of great economic, or (aside from the bullfrog) of any commercial, importance has, no doubt, much bearing on the case, The ability of a people to appraise scientific values apart from economic or commercial applications is one index of its cultural level, so the situation that exists with regard to herpetology in Canada does not flatter us, For most of our knowledge of the lives and habits of our own fauna we are indebted to our neighbours to the south, so that if such knowledge is incomplete or inaccurate in so far as it pertains to conditions in Canada, we have only ourselves to reproach, The present work was started after the outbreak of World War II, and at a time when obstacles might be expected. They did arise, and not all of a nature foreseen, thus pub- lication was delayed. This, however, was a blessing in disguise, since considerably more data have become available in the time interval, and the authors have been able to give more mature consideration to both their selection and the form of presentation, In spite of the obvious gaps in such distributional data, it seems desirable to put on record the in- formation available now, rather than wait indefinitely for the perfection "at the end of the rainbow.” It will be many years before the necessary faunal work will have been done in much of the vast area covered by this check-list, and will certainly not be with - in the lifetime of the present authors. The range limits, especially the northern ones, indicated in this list are in many cases provisional, but are as close to the truth as we can come at present, The problem of assessing records not supported by specimens collected (or at least seen by a competent authority) is always a knotty one for zoologists. Manifestly, it is not always possible to collect a specimen for every noted occurrence, nor would it al- ways be desirable even if possible, and the testimony of travellers who are not zoologists must occasionally be accepted. The line here between true and false may at times be uncertain and require careful judgment to trace. In our experience with the classes of animals under consideration, in spite of the fact that our fauna is small, we have found 2 R,.O.M.Z. AND P. CONTRIBUTIONS that identifications by untrained persons are often inaccurate. Since such identifications, without the specimens, cannot be rechecked, some may always bear a question mark, Their value then is in the nature of an "alert" to watch for corroborative information, We have, accordingly, screened all reports coming to us in terms of the known compe- tence of the observer, the probability or improbability of such a record at the particular locality, and the possibility of confusion with an allied or similar form that might be expected, or was known, to occur there, Those which in our opinion are invested with doubt have been discarded, or if included, qualified by a footmote, Certain alleged races which are more or less in taxonomic confusion have not been referred to subspecies, but simply to the parent species, For example, in the leopard frogs, satisfactory characters to distinguish between Rana pipiens pipiens Schreber and Rana pipiens brachycephala Cope are not known to the authors, the characters that have been published upon as diagnostic breaking down when applied to Canadian material. ‘A similar situation pertains to the wood frogs Rana sylvatica sylvatica LeConte and Rana sylvatica cantabrigensis Baird, Even if arbitrary selections of such variable characters as leg length were used, it would still be impossible to assign geographical ranges to the alleged forms on the basis of such characters, In the reptiles, certain of the western garter snakes appear to be in a state of taxo- nomic fluidity. Perusal of the literature dealing with this group that has appeared within the last fifteen to twenty years reveals divergence of opinion among competent students as to both characters and ranges that should be assigned to various forms, and as to what forms (and even species) should be considered valid, The authors confess themselves in- competent to judge between such differences of opinion, and so can only refer the forms in question to the parent species. In view of the present state of the literature and the very inadequate field work that has been done in western Canada, it would, we believe, be futile and misleading to attempt to assign racial names to any records of the species Thamnophis sirtalis from points west of the 120th meridian, which marks the Alberta- British Columbia border northward to 60° Latitude. Some of the younger men in this field may, we hope, before their work is finished, leave some of these confused groups in a clearer and more orderly condition, In this connection it must be remembered that any species of living animal is not a static thing, but an expression of an active evolutionary force, i.e., something changing, perhaps in process of becoming something else, and not a once-and-for-all completed product (un- less or until it becomes extinct). For this reason, a definition of a species is a conven- ience of zoologists, relative to a point in time, and must always be imperfect, If this is true of species it is much more immediately true of subspecies or races, therefore, since a perfect definition cannot be given of a thing in process of change, it seems futile to expect the subspecies problem ever to be finally settled to the agreement of all stu- dents of these, or any other, variable animals, The question arises, indeed, as to whether much of the race-naming so in vogue today is justified by a cool appraisal of the facts. It might, in fact, be suggested that the perennial multiplication of named races erected upon trifling and inconstant char- acters is a major incubus of zoological literature of the current century, superfatting it with a senseless profusion of synonyms to frustrate and perplex serious minded zoologists, and creating unnecéssary, time-consuming labour for bibliographers and librarians, We _— LOGIER & TONER: CHECK -LIST OF AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES 3 might go even further and suggest that if some enterprising young systematists in a num- ber of these hair-split groups would devote their lives’ effort to unsplitting them again (except where sound biological study showed that they should be split) they would confer a benefit of the first magnitude on zoologists and librarians of the future. True, the synonyms already in the literature would remain as a dragging curse for all time, but their riotous, epidemic increase could be sharply tapered off by common sense system ~ atic sanitation, We are not here minimizing the importance of variations and races, nor of their role in speciation and evolution, Any variations or mutations may prove in time to be of evolutionary significance, or may not, and this applies equally to those so slight, or of such a nature, as to be nearly or completely useless as taxonomic characters, To note differences and resemblances where they may be observed by any means what- ever is a legitimate function of the study of zoology, but to attach trinomials or quadri- nomials to any vagary of variation that appears in a population is something else again, It is, we believe, generally conceded by zoologists that two races of the same species will not be found occupying the same ecological niche in the same geographical area, To determine the ecological niche may not be a simple matter, but the applica- tion of race names might often better await such information. If the supposed races widely overlap in geographical territory it would seem that this information is funda- mental, It will never be obtained by counting scales or spots, applying some preferred mathematical formula and plotting the result in a graph to show the mean, the mode, the standard deviation and probable error; yet much of the current race-splitting seems to derive from no deeper study. We freely concede that the latter form of study is use- ful and necessary for a knowledge of certain quantitative elements in populations, but the core of the problem, viz., the nature of the biological factors that underlie the vari- ations, and the meaning of the variations in terms of those factors and in the lives of the animals, remains untouched, In the same train of thought, we should remark with con- siderable emphasis that the application of racial names to geographic gradients of vari- ation is a highly dubious procedure, but the variations and any factors relating to them are worthy of careful study. We are, according to currently accepted classification, using trinomials (if in use) in cases where the subspecific status is not in question, We have followed the arrange- ment and nomenclature used in the sixth edition of the check list of North American amphibians and reptiles (Schmidt, 1953), except in the case of Bufo americanus, but have omitted the usual references to the original descriptions, type localities, and syn- onymy, which are already covered in that and other works, The purpose of the present list is purely that of indicating ranges in Canada and Alaska, so that only the ranges, or portions of ranges, north of the Canada-United States border are dealt with here, The portions of ranges that extend south of that line are treated and mapped in various United States publications, For each form listed there is a map (except in cases of single-locality records) indi- cating its range within the territory under consideration. Each locality named in the text is marked by a spot on the map pertaining to the form in question; localities close to- gether may be included under a single spot. An open circle indicates reported occur~ rence in an area, but without a precise locality, We have not followed the usual pro- 4 R,O.M.Z. AND P, CONTRIBUTIONS cedure of shading the areas of the ranges: this is because sufficient collecting has not been done and it is often impossible to say whether many of the spots on the maps indi- cate the range limits of the animals or the collecting stations, Also, in view of the long distances that separate many of these collecting stations, any decision as to pre- cisely how they should be joined by an enclosing line (the edge of the shading) would be arbitrary and speculative, When the records of a species are few or sporadic, every locality of record is named and mapped, When a species is common within a circumscribed area, or its range ex- tensive, usually only the peripheral localities that mark the apparent limits of its range are named and mapped, and not always all of these, but only those so located as to ap- pear significant in conveying information about the probable extent and contour of its range. The citation of all records from the areas concerned was once contemplated, a procedure for which there is precedent, but after due consideration, and regarding the opinions of some other zoologists, this idea was abandoned, An authority for each locality record is given. If a record is from the literature, the reference is given by author, date, and page following the place name, and may be found in full in the bibliography at the end of the book, If there is known to the authors a specimen in a museum, the museum is cited by initials following the place name. If a specimen was seen by one or both authors, or reported by personal communication, etc, , such facts are indicated by initials and names following the place name (see list of abbreviations below). Usually, however, a single authority reference is cited for each record, and a museum reference if known, whether it is based upon one or many specimens, and no attempt was made to cite all literature references supporting any locality record, or all museums where such specimens may be housed, Once a record is positively established, further citations of authority in support of it would be beside the purpose of this work, which is not an inventory of records, but an outline of distribu- tion, List of abbreviations for museums, collections, and authorities (other than literature references) for locality records, CM Carmegie Museum, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, CU Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, MM Manitoba Museum, Winnipeg, Manitoba.

AND P. CONTRIBUTIONS Preliminary remarks on Bufo americanus copei In our attempt to summarize and map the range of the race B. t, copei separately from that of B, t. americanus we encountered some practical difficulty, because in order to assign geographic ranges to the races of any species it is necessary to compre - hend with reasonable certainty the physical characters by which they may be distinguished from each other and identified, For the purpose of comparison with americanus we used the following published characters of copei: contrasty pattern; wide dorsal stripe; heavy, extensive ventral] mottling; shorter legs and feet; longer, narrower parotoid glands; more nearly parallel and more widely spaced cranial crests; smoother ventral granulation. In the course of examination of specimens it became apparent that: (a) while the James Bay material was usually distinguishable by its colour pattern, it often did not agree with copei in structural characters; and (b) that inland from James Bay both colour pattern and structural features were intergraded and indiscriminately mixed up, both as between individuals of the same populations and of different populations. Indeed, in terms of these characters, we often found it a frustrating task to try to distinguish copei from the variations of americanus. Netting and Goin (1946, p. 107) gave the range of B. t. copei as "Forested portions of the James Bay drainage of Ontario and Quebec, east coast of Hudson Bay at least to Great Whale River, and Labrador." If this interpretation is right, then(in Ontario at least) americanus appears to be the dominant race over most of the range of copei, which suggests a rather anomalous situation as between two races of the same species. Gaige (1932, p. 134) and Netting (1933, PC) reported intergrades between copei and americanus from points within forty miles north of North Bay, Ontario, Vladykov (1941, p. 83) re- ported americanus and copei as "quite often found together in the same lake" in Lauren~ tides Park, Quebec, but that copei “more typically frequents higher altitudes, " It is true that there is a notable tendency for certain characters, viz. , brilliant pattern, presence of red, wide dorsal stripe, a wide lateral light stripe underscored with black, heavy ventral mottling, more nearly parallel cranial crests and shorter legs, to appear more frequently in northern populations, but not consistently, and the overlap (as already remarked upon) between individuals of populations of different areas is con- siderable. It follows that identification of specimens in many cases becomes an arbi- tary matter, i.e. , at what point of intergradation should a specimen be called copei-- which ones, and how many, of the various characters should it possess, and to what de- gree of development? We are not here attempting to refute the validity of copei, which we feel is in need of much closer study, but simply pointing out some plain facts of the problem encounterec since it affects our method of mapping. At the same time, we cannot completely avoid the thought that the eastern North American toad, by whatever Latin name, or names, we Care to call it, is a highly variable animal, and that when variations appear in popu- lations it might be reasonable to enquire whether or not they are really significant of more than just that, Correction of nomenclature On page 26, lines 1 and 2, B. t. copei should read B. a, copei, On page 27, line 17, B. t. americanus should read B. a, americanus. LOGIER & TONER: CHECK -LIST OF AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES 27 Notwithstanding these difficulties, we are attempting, as well as we can, to present a map for copei, On it we have marked every locality of record known to us, including those of apparent intergrades with americanus, since we are unable to draw any certain boundary between copei and intergrades, We are arbitrarily assuming that the James Bay specimens are pure copei, even though they do not necessarily agree with all the published characters of this form, The data for within Ontario are based almost com- pletely upon material that we have seen, but outside Ontario almost wholly upon pub- lished matter, Intergrades with americanus, when known, indicated thus: (intg.), and marked on the map by an open circle.

Thamnophis sirtalis ssp, (In British Columbia) Map 65, COMMON GARTER SNAKE This complex includes within the borders of British Columbia forms that have been assigned by various authors, at various times, to one or more of the following races of and trilineata, In the sixth edition of the check list (Schmidt 1953, pp. 175-6) three races, concinnus, trilineata, and fitchi, are reported as occurring in British Columbia, the two farmer as reaching Vancouver Island, Boulenger's records of infernalis were certainly in error, but with regard to the others, the application of race names can mean nothing, until geographic ranges can be defined with some degree of consistency for some or all of them (in British Columbia), and it can be shown that any two or more alleged races do not intergrade throughout their ranges within that province, In the past history of this group a number of race names have been erected upon individual variations and later discarded, We should learn from experience in dealing with such a highly variable species as sirtalis, that the naming of supposed races should not be lightly undertaken, The writers are not prepared to discuss the validity of any particular named race, nor is this the place to doso, but until zoologists who are study- ing (and naming) the races can find less fluid ground of common agreement, the writers prefer not to commit themselves to race names for any of this variable species within British Columbia, | In citing the literature references for the localities named below, the race names applied by the various authors are cited in parentheses with them, Canadian locality records; BRITISH COLUMBIA.
