1906 | NEW SPECIES OF TESTUDO AND BAENA. 189 
BAENA PULCHRA. Sp. nov. 
Plate III, fig. 4, and plate 1V, fig. r. 
The specimens on which this species is based were briefly 
described in 1902* by the writer who at that time referred them to 
Baéna hatcheri,** Hay, from the Laramie of Converse county, 
Wyoming. 
Further study of the material has since led the writer to 
believe that it represents a new species and is not to be referred 
to B. hatchert. Mr. J. B. Hatcher in his lately published report t 
on the ‘‘ Vertebrate fauna of the Judith River beds,” in remarks 
on the species B. hatcheri, has stated that ‘‘the material referred 
by Lambe to 4. hatchert should either be included in B. antigua, 
or made the type of a new species.”’ With regard to this statement 
there is little doubt that the Red Deer river specimens do belong 
to a new species, but they certainly are not referable to A. antigua, 
Lambe, of which a large part of the cirapace is known. 
The specimens are from the Belly River (Judith River) beds 
of Red Deer river, Alberta, near the mouth of Berry creek, and 
were collected by the writer. They consist of the anterior half of 
the carapace with the entire plastron of a single individual (Cat. 
No. 1130), and of the anterior half of the plastron of another 
individual, of slightly larger size (Cat. No. 1196). The carapace 
is crushed and slightly displaced to the left and its left margin is 
damaged. Other specimens from the same locality and horizon
