*l. A. mutica. This species seems to bo comparatively rare. I have seen but a few speci- 

 mens which would indicate that its range is confined to the southern parts of the State. 



*2. A. spinifer. The common soft shell turtle is found throughout the southern half of the 

 Lower Peninsula. It is frequently met with as far north as Genesee county, and in the 

 streams of the eastern, as well as the western slope of the State. 



*4. 0. odorata. The carapace of a small turtle obtained in Oakland county I have referred 

 to this species, but as the specimen is imperfect I may be incorrect in including the 

 species in our fauna. 



«8._C. marginata. This is the most abundant species of the Testudinata in our State. It was 

 formerly confounded with C. picta, but was separated by Prof. Agassis in his contribu- 

 tions to the Natural History of the United States. I am not aware that tho latter spo - 

 cies is found in Michigan. 



*10. N. guttata. Four specimens of this beautiful species havo been collected within the 

 two years. One in Genesee county, one from Saginaw Bay, and the others from Oak- 

 land county. On comparison with a specimen from Massachusetts, they appear to be 

 Identical, the only difference noticed being tho darker color of the plastron in the Mich- 

 igan specimens.
