TESTTTDINID.E. 73 



Testudo robusta, Leith- Adams \ 



Known by two vertebrae and limb-bones. The typical 5th cervical 

 vertebra indicates a form somewhat larger than T. nigra (elephan- 

 topus), of the Galapagos Islands, but of stouter build, although with 

 an equally long neck. The undermentioned specimens are referred to 

 this species, since they agree in relative size with the vertebrae ; in 

 its elongated form the coracoid shows affinity with T. inepta of the 

 Mauritius, to which the species may be allied. 



Hah. Europe (Malta). 



The following specimens were obtained from the Pleistoeene deposits 

 of Zebbug Gave, and were presented to the Museum by Admiral 

 Spratt, C.B., in 1876. 



49327. The imperfect left scapulo-precoracoid. Described and 

 {Fig.) figured by Leith-Adams in the ' Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc' 



vol. xxxiii. p. 180, pi. vi. figs. 3, 3 a, 3 b. The distal half 

 of the scapula is wanting, and the whole of the precoracoid 

 absent. 



49328. The right coracoid, imperfect distally. Described and figured, 

 (Fig.) I. c. p.. 179, pi. v. figs. 2, 2 a. In its extremely elongated 



form this bone agrees with the coracoid of T. inepta figured 

 by Haddon in the ' Trans. Linn. Soc' ser. 2, Zool. vol. ii. 

 pi. xiii. fig. 6. 



49329. The left radius. Described and figured, I. c. p. 182, pi. vi. 

 (Fig.) fig. 1. 



49330. A smaller specimen of the left radius. Described and 

 (Fig.) figured, I. c. p. 182, pi. vi. figs. 2, 2 a. 



49331. The right tibia. Described and figured, I. c. p. 185, pi. v. 

 (Fig.) figs. 3, 3 a. 



49332-4. Three terminal phalangeals, two of which are imperfect. 

 (Fig.) Described and figured, I. c. p. 183, pi. v. figs. 5-7. 



49336. The distal half of a left fibula probably referable to this 



species* Described, I. c. pp. 186-7. 



49337. Part of the right pubis. Noticed, I c. p. 183. 



49338. Fragment of a pubis. Noticed, I. c. p. 184. 



49339. Part of the symphysial portion of the right pubis. Noticed, 



I. c. p. 184.
