that in T. emys as well as in T. Phayrei the distance 

 between the pectorals is largest in the males. 



In the following table, in which the specimens are 

 enumerated according to their size, a is a specimen pre- 

 served in spirits, b and c are stuffed specimens (of which 

 & is in a bad condition), d and e are preserved as skele- 

 tons {e being the newly acquired specimen from Rotter- 

 dam), and ƒ is the specimen still living at Rotterdam , 

 which after its death will make part of our collections. 

 I suppose the specimens d and ƒ, both showing some con- 

 cavity in the femoral region , to be males.

On comparing our two skulls of Testudo emys with the 

 figure of the skull of Testudo Falconeri (the skull of one 

 of the typical specimens of Testudo Phayrei) as given by 

 Gray ^) , we see that the forepart of the skull of T. emys 

 is much more acute, that its lower jaw ends in a sharp 

 point, and that the processus ectopterygoideus is much 

 more developed in T. emys than in T. Phayrei. 



The same points of difference were stated between the 

 skull of Teleopus luxatus and Gray's figure by Bauer, who
