The portion of a carapace represented in Fig. 1, Plate XXX, and previ- 

 ously referred to as tending to confirm the impression that Emys Carteri was 

 the same as Testudo Corsoni, retains most of the vertebral plates with contig- 

 uous fragments of the costal plates. 



The anterior three vertebral plates, corresponding with those which are 

 retained in the specimen originally referred to Emys Carteri, have the same 

 form, but are wider. The succeeding two plates have the same form as the 

 second vertebral plate in a reversed position. The sixth vertebral plate is 

 too much broken to ascertain its exact form, but it would appear to be nearly 

 the same as those in advance. The seventh plate is hexagonal, with the 

 breadth more than twice the length ; and the eighth plate has the same form, 

 but is not so broad. 



The length of the fragment of the carapace from the anterior broken end 

 of the first vertebral plate to the back border of the eighth plate is 1G inches.
