Testudo ibera, Pallas. 



Dr. Keatinge has been so good as to forward to me three 

 photographic views of a land tortoise, three living specimens of 

 which he had purchased for the Museum of the Cairo Medical 

 School. 



The species proves to be Testudo ihera, Pallas, hitherto known 

 only from North-West Africa, Syria, Asia Minor, Transcaucasia, 

 and Persia. The native from whom they were bought informed 

 Dr. Keatinge that he had got them from the Sudan, and that 

 he had had them alive for more than fourteen years. There is no 

 evidence that this species occurs in Lower Egypt, but, like many 

 others, it may possibly range from Algeria and Tunisia to the 

 Sudan, and, in view of this, I have thought it is as well to record 

 these specimens. If this species is found in the Sudan, it is 

 likely to be distributed in the direction of Wadi Haifa, and 

 even to the plain of Suakin.
