this condition there is every gradation until at hist in some Minisville 

 specimens tliere are elongate black spots on every plate of the plastron 

 and of the bridge. The upright yellow l)ar behind tlie eye is the most 

 positive color mark of this species, but is sometimes very ol)SCure in old 

 specimens. 



Chrysemys troosti. 



TROOST'S TERRAPIN. 



Three specimens from Mimsville, Georgia, received July 1, 1907, 2; June 

 18, 1909, 1. All the species of Chrysemys and Di'lroclit'li/s are commonly 

 known as cooters in Florida and Georgia. 



Chelopus guttatus. 



SPECKLED TERK.\PIX. 



TJiceltoro, (Jeorgia, 1, received May 5, 1902. 



Terrapene major. 



LAU(iE P.OX TIUTLE. 



Tallahassee, Florida, 2; Riceboro, Georgia, 1. 



Terrapene bauri. 



BAUR'S BOX TURTLE. 



Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, 1; Mimsville, Georgia, 1; also numerous 

 exami)les from Florida (Green Cove Springs, ?Iastings, Orlando, St. 

 Petersburg and Belleair). I think this is identical with major, particu- 

 larly as there is no constancy in the luimber of i-laws on the hind feet, 

 they being as often 4-4, as 3-3, and not infrequently 4-.'>. 



Terrapene triunguis. 



THREE-CLAWED BOX TURTLE. 



Mimsville, Georgia, abundant. Also from Riceboro, tJeorgia, and Bay 

 St. Louis, INIississippi. Apparently only a subspecies of Carolina, in 

 whicli connection it may be stated that at Raleigh, Xorth Carolina, tliri'c- 

 dawed examples of Carolina occasionally occur. 



Cinosternum bauri. 



BAUR'S MUD TURTLE. 



Common in Florida; have received specimens from ( Jreen Cove Si>rings, 

 Hastings, Grlando, St. Petersburg and Fort ]\Ieade. 



Cinosternum louisianse. 



LOUISL\XA MUD TURTLE. 



^Mimsville, Georgia, 2 specimens. This appears to be a southern form 

 of C. poinsylvanicnm, possibly on the verge of becoming a species. At 

 ]\Iimsville, pennsylranicum is the common form. At Colmesneil, in 

 eastern Texas, the mud turtles appear to be intermediate, some being 

 nearest pennsylvanicum and some nearest louisianiv. At A\'aco, Texas, 

 nearly all are loiiisiaiur, while at Austin, Texas, y/u(7'.sfv'//.s' is the common 

 specie.-*, with an occasional louisiaviv.
