Crysemys marginata. Agassiz. Lady Turtle.— Over the 

 most of Indiana this is the prevailing species of painted turtle, 

 but in the Whitewater valley it is rare. 



Chrysemys picta. (Herm.) Gray. Painted Turtle. — This is 

 the common species of its genus in southeastern Indiana. The 

 watershed separating Whitewater from the White River and its
