Body brownish ; seven longitudinal rows of spots. Tessel- lated Snake, E. mnltimaculata. Distribution: Southern New Mexico; northern Mexico. Light brown ; small reddish spots on anterior part of body. Red-spotted Snake, E. rufopunctata. Distribution: 1 specimen known; from southern Arizona. The Eastern Ribbon Snake, E. saurita, inhabiting the greater part of the eastern United States, is not nearly so common as some of the striped snakes. It might be called a water snake, because it invariably ...selects soggy meadows, swamp land or the borders of streams and ponds, taking to the water for protection and diving to the bottom, where it remains among aquatic plants until danger is supposed to be passed. If a Rib- THE SNAKES 243 bon Snake were placed far inland, it might soon starve. Unlike most members of the genus, it does not feed upon earthworms. The food consists entirely of small frogs, toads, tadpoles and fishes. Thus the reason for haunting the immediate vicinity of water. A very large specimen is a yard long and half an inch in diameter at the thickest part of the body.
