Distribution —Boulenger records specimens of this turtle 
as having been collected in British Columbia and Walla 
Walla, “British Columbia” [=Washington?]. Harlan’s 
“Emys Oregoniensis” was secured in ponds near the Colum- 
bia River. This turtle has twice been found in the San Fran- 
cisco markets. In each instance the market-men told me that 
the turtle had been sent in with fish from San Joaquin River 
near Stockton, California, but, when questioned, could not 
state positively that the lot had not come from Oregon, 
Washington, or elsewhere. Yarrow (1875) records this 
turtle as taken in Rock Creek Canyon, south of Camp 
Apache, Arizona. 
Dr. Blanchard recently collected three of these turtles in 
Sheep Creek, at Springdale, Stevens County, Washington, 
and Dice has recorded it from Walla Walla or Columbia 
counties.
