 1047. The sacral and caudal vertebra: of the same Tortoise (Tettudo tabulata'?). 



The sacral are thrre in number . their plcurapophyses arc unanchylosed, converge, and 

 unite at their distal extremities to form the articular surface for the ilium. Traces of thr 

 uturrt joining the shorter plcurapophyset to the first and second caudal vertebra? remain, 

 but are obliterated in the rest, which resemble transverse processes. The caudal vcrtebne 

 are twenty-six in number, and become remarkably depressed or flattened horixontally towards 

 the end of the tail : the fore part of the centrum is concave, the hind part convex, in each. 

 From the length of the tail the specimen was probably a female.

The eight costal pieces of the right side of the carapace have been disarticulated, and 

 so attached that they may be uplifted, to expose the cavity of the carapace and to show the 

 bodies of the vertebra; and the scapular and pelvic arches in i'fn. The hyostenial articulates 

 with the first costal plate, and the hypostemal with the fifth costal plate.
