Pseudemys Terrapene This study of the reptiles and amphibians inhabiting the barrier chain of St. Vincent, St. George, and Dog islands, Franklin County, Florida, is based on collections made from 1964 through 1968. A discussion of the biogeography of the Apalachicola region in relation to the southeastern herpetofauna and to geologic history is presented. Evidence for the use of a Pleistocene Gulf Coast migration route by Coluber constrictor, Masticophis flagellum, and Terrapene carolina is given. An analysis and discussion are presented of 30 species of reptiles and amphibians, and probable relationships of the insular fauna to the mainland populations are suggested. Taxonomic problems in Acris gryllus, Hyla squirella, and Elaphe obsoleta are discussed. Range extensions for Acris gryllus dorsalis, Chrysemys floridana peninsularis, and Ophisaurus compressus are presented. Evidence of multiple breeding seasons in Rana pipiens is shown. Terrapene carolina putnami Hay is relegated to the synonymy of T. c. major (Agassiz).
