Abstract

Stejneger and Barbour (1943) give the range of the striped water snake as "New Kent County, Virginia and South Carolina to Western Louisiana, excluding peninsular Florida." It was first recorded from Texas four years ago when Brown (1947) listed specimens from Leon (6 mi. nw. of Normangee), Jasper (12 mi. w. of Jasper), Henderson (7 mi. e. of Athens), and Hardin (4 mi. w. of Silsbee) counties. Later Brown (1950) noted specimens from Jefferson (2 mi. n. of Sabine Pass), Liberty (Daisetta), San Augustine (no specific locality), and Tyler (near Warren) counties.
