Toner Royal Ontario Museum of Zoology No. 2. HERPETOLOGICAL studies in Canada have never received the attention they deserve. Most of the naturalists of the country were not concerned with these forms, though there are some important exceptions, as a review of the literature shows. Many of the older lists by Canadians are out- moded in nomenclatxire and distribution; man^^ of the lists by Americans just say Canada for the range of a species north of the border. Again, there are important exceptions that will readity occur to the herpetologist. The authors of this paper have in hand a check list and distributional study of all amphi- bians and reptiles in Alaska, Canada and New- foundland. The present contribution is a pre- liminary list of 93 forms found in this region, based on records from the literature and speci- mens in the Royal Ontario Museum of Zoologj^ at Toronto. It is published for the information of herpetologists and in the hope of securing additional records or other material that will be of value. Particularly needed are notes and distributional information from Quebec, the Maritime Provinces and the Prairies. Even more important is the securing of preserved material from these regions, in order that the ranges of the various subspecies may be worked out. Even the commonest species are needed, and naturalists throughout Canada can contribute considerably to the check-list by sending to the Royal Ontario Museum of Zoology some specimens from the regions in which they live. Due acknowledgement will be made for all information or specimens received. Salamanders Necturus maculosus. Mudpuppy. Triturus torosus torosus. Pacific Newt. Tritiirus viridescens viridescens.
