Jiidgiiig merely by the original description I should have felt 

 inclined to doubt the specific distinctness of this Turtle. But from 

 information kindly supplied me by Mr. Garman and Dr. Banr it 

 appears that it is well distinguished from ^'. cardta by the presence 

 of ridges on the alveolar surfaces of the jaws (underlying the horny 

 sheaths) which closely resemble those of Chelone imhricuta, and by 

 the openings of the inner nostrils not being covered by the alveolar 

 border.
