This specimen consists of a shell with head and feet preserved. I 

 have examined these and confirm Miss Cochran's identification. It 

 constitutes the fiist record of the occurrence of this tortoise in Uganda. 

 Greatest length, 282 mm.; greatest width (behind hinge), 190 mm.; 

 greatest depth, 108 mm. All shell measurements.

 1 (U.S.N.M. 63482) Masindi, U. (Raven) 1920. 



I have not examined these specimens, but the localities are all 

 within the range of the species and there is nothing else with which 

 they could possibly be confused. No. 4942G is fragmentary and No. 

 48952 a "skin"; the rest are presum.ably alcoholics.
