45° acai machon (Linn.) Box Tor 
I captu ne of this kind near the disso Pacific elevator, South St. 
Louis, re it is doubtful if this turtle lives here, as Iam of the opinion 
that my specimen may have been brought here on freight cars while unload- 
ing at the elevator, or escaped from captivity. 
43. Cistuda Carolina Triunguis. (Agassiz.) Three-toed Box Tortoise. 
This is the common box turtle of St. Louis County. I caught one near 
Cantine, Madison County, Ill., which I sent to the Smithsonian Institute. In 
regard to color they vary Sinatdennble, so much so, that one could take them 
sometimes for different specimens. 
44. Cistuda Ornata. (Agassiz.) Painted Box Tortoise. 
It is seldom found. So far I found afew specimens in the western part 
of the city of St. ready One at Pilot Knob, Iron County, Mo., and one at 
Addieville, Washington County, Il. The one caught at Pilot Knob is now 
at the Smithsonian idan, and is an exception to the general description 
of this kind, owing to it having 13 pairs of marginal shields instead of 12 as 
is usually the case with these turtles.
