Mr. Brimley informs me that he has received spec- 

 imens of this turtle from Colmesneil, Tyler County, 

 and Mr. Hurter lists it from Paris, Lamar County. 

 Mr. Mitchell sent me an example from Victoria, and 

 I have personally collected it in the following locali-

 Lake, Falls County; Morgan Creek, Burnet County;

 Pecos region probably refer to this species.

 author gives its distribution as "salt marshes and

 River, not far from that city, in the ^razos River,
