Animal black. The fore legs are covered with very large, 

 convex, unequal scales ; scales black, tipped with white, 

 forming an interrupted band ; toes very short, scarcely pro- 

 duced, covered with two or three convex band-like scales 

 above ; claws short, thick, black, white at the tip ; hind feet 

 with short, thick, black claws ; scales of the soles of the 

 feet large, convex, black, varied with white. 



" Crown white, varied with black, forming rather a ra- 

 diating symmetrical figure on the back of the crown, and 

 with a white cross band on each side of the occiput ; the 

 temples with a broad white streak from the back edge of 



the orbit, and another from the front edge of the orbit, 

 which are united together on the tympanum by a perpen- 

 dicular streak behind, and then give off a streak that is 

 continued along the side of the neck ; the sides and back of 

 the neck black, with several broad white streaks, one arising 

 from the centre of the occiput, another, wider, from the outer 

 margin of each side of the occiput ; two narrow indistinct 

 streaks in front of the orbit, on the upper edge of the side 

 of the nose ; fore feet with two white streaks." — Gray, 

 P. Z. S. 1870, p. 723, fig. 5 (head). 



A specimen in the Zoological Gardens, Mr. Sclater says, 

 was probably brought to Santiago from the coast of Peru or 

 Panama, as Gay says that no Chelonians are found in Chili 

 (P. Z. S. 1870, p. 067).

 . t. 2S (varieties). 



" Thorax oblong, slightly and bluntly keeled only in front, 

 over the vertebral plates, dark brown, slightly mottled ; dor- 

 sal and marginal shields thin ; the first vertebral shield 

 nearly square, four-sided, the second and third oblong, 

 transverse, six-sided ; sternum slightly raised on the sides, 

 truncated in front and notched behind ; dark brown, with 

 an irregular yellow margin; head brown; throat and sides 

 of the head yellow, black -spotted ; crown dark brown, with 

 a narrow white streak over the nostrils towards the orbits, 

 with a broad white lunate band behind, with its front edge 

 just even with the eyes, and with an indistinct broad pale 

 streak on each side of the occiput." — Gray, P. Z. S. 1870, 

 p. 659. 



" Head brown ; crown with a broad, uniformly wide, 

 semicircular band over the eyes ; the sides of the head

Hah. Mexico ; San Juan del Rio (Bebouch). 



" In the ' Proceedings' of this Society for 1870, p. 659, 

 I described a species of Ehinoclemmys, under the name of 

 E. mexicana, from a specimen which we had received from 

 M. Salle ; and in the month of November for the same year 

 I figured the head of the animal (P. Z. S. 1870, p. 723. 

 fig. 4). The specimen I first described appeared to have 

 the normal colouring of the genus ; that is to say, the shell 

 appeared to be of a nearly uniform dark colour above and 

 below, with a pale margin forming a submarginal ring to 

 the sternum. The specimen since I described it has been
