CHELONIA. 



R. 1516 a. Cast of an anterior marginal, referred by Pictet and Hum- 

 bert to the same species as the preceding specimen. The 

 original was obtained from Chaux-de-Fonds, and is figured 

 op. cit. pi. xv. figs. 2, 2 a, 2 b. It was suggested by its 

 describers that this specimen might have belonged to the 

 same individual as the preceding, but it indicates a much 

 smaller form, which may be generically distinct.

 Syn. Testudo gigantea, Lartet 2 .

40772. The left precoracoid of a large Tortoise, probably referable to 

 this species ; from the Middle Miocene of Sansan (Gers),

Testudo eurystermim, Gervais 3 {ex Pomel).

 a species agreeing approximately in size with T. radiata, but with 

 relatively thicker and somewhat more produced epiplastrals. 



Hab. Europe (France). 



30940. The imperfect right epiplastral ; from the Lower Miocene 

 (Upper Oligocene) of St. Gerand-le-Puy (Allier), France. 

 This specimen, of which the anterior extremity is wanting, 

 agrees with the epiplastrals of the type specimen figured 

 by Gervais (in a reversed position) in bis 'Zool. et Pal. 

 Franchises,' pi. liii. figs. 8, 8 a, which is from the same 

 doposits. Bravard Collection. Purchased, 1852.
