II. Descriptions of New Species discovered by Dr. Leith. 
TESTUDO LEITHII. 
Form.—Shell broadly ovate, broader posteriorly than anteriorly, 
very convex above, especially on the hinder half; the lateral margins 
straight, slightly convergent. Its greatest width is rather more than 
its greatest depth, which is one-half of its length. The convexity of 
the upper shell extends to the caudal plate only, which is almost flat 
and inclined outwards, so that the outline between the last vertebral 
and the caudal is concave. The upper shell is deeply notched ante- 
riorly. The sternum is truncated in front, and has a shallow, 
obtuse-angular incision behind. Posterior margin of the shell slightly 
serrated. 
Plates.—The plates are rather smooth, with the concentric striz 
distinct. The areolse of the three anterior vertebral plates are near 
the posterior margin. Nuchal plate triangular, pomted in front. 
The last vertebral as broad as the caudal. ‘The two gular plates 
together broader than long, the sum of their posterior angles being 
nearly equal to a right angle. Abdominals as long as pectorals, 
postgulars, and gulars together. The suture between the anal plates 
as long as their posterior margin. Inguinal and axillary plates of 
moderate size. 
Tail formed by twenty-two vertebrze. 
Feet.—Claws 5/4, obtuse. The front of the forearm is covered
